I am skiing in Banff over the Christmas and New year and was wondering how
prices are compared to here in the UK as I want to buy
a) some new ski's
b) new ski jacket (Spyder)
Anyone help??????

I would NEVER buy anything other than a cup of coffee in Banff. Try Calgary,
or better yet, Edmonton. Sport Check usually has some really high end demo
skis on for 1/2 price with bindings quite often. They are in Calgary and
Edmonton. Fritz's Ski Haus in Edmonton often has really good deals on year
old new stock.

Banff is always a ripoff.
