Kicking Horse Banff combo
"Lobster Grrrl" wrote in message ... Greetings, I'm considering a CAN-SKI package vacation that includes 6 days of skiing/lodging divided between Kicking Horse and Banff. It includes rental car and lift tix also. Sampling both resorts sounds exciting, any advice as to must ski piste/off piste runs appreciated. I'm a diamond+ level telemark skier. Would also be interested in local guides if anyone has any recommendations. A day of guided off piste skiing would be high on my list of priorities. According to the KH web site there are two heli ski operations in the local village. Does anyone have any experience with these folks. I've never heli skied, but have thought about trying it. I may if the price is right. I would guess Banff has similar heli and guide operations? Finally, any recommendations for lunch or supper would be a big help. Are there any local attractions/ museums that are interesting to visit? I enjoy the Banff Film fest most years and look forward to checking that out. Happy turns, LG There's off piste at Sunshine and KH, but you better be able to handle extreme skiing. At Sunshine a beacon, helmut and avalanche shovel is required equipment before they let you out of the gate... Back side of Lake Louise at the "Top of the World " is pretty good DD skiing ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Can you post the link that you are getting your packaged deal from? Can I ask how much you are paying? I am looking to go to Banff area as well. Thanks "Lobster Grrrl" wrote in message ...
