[headstand]

The event calendar at the world famous Lake Louise ski hill says they will be having Australia Day Celebration on January 26...

Can anybody say "there goes the neighborhood?"

Is lake louise your local hill? It looked quite nice watching the mens downhill recently, and has been added to the list of places I'd really like to ski.

It's where I go on first impulse, and is a reasonable hour and 40 minutes from home. The terrain is great and the vistas are unparalled. Better still, make a roadtrip out of your visit and try some of the resorts in British Columbia where the snow pack is amazing.

If you do make a trip out to the Alberta Rockies i would recommend late February to mid-March. Although this year has been an exception, January temperature are generally cold (-12 to -15C on average).

Now I'm jealous of your lifestyle.

I may be able to blow money in posh London hotels, but I certainly can't go skiing in beautiful scenery quite so easily!

Life is like that isn't it

Maz, if you keep entertaining us with London exploits then I'll post mountain pics.

Nearly that time of year again, not sure what I am going to do. Our office block in the city overlooks the Swan River fireworks but there is no female staff to be seen

Thanks for the advice mate. I've been lucky enough to ski sun peaks before, and loved every minute of it. I'm currently discussing the possibility of a canadian ski tour with a couple of mates next season.

Sun Peaks has been an annual ski weekend /get-together with friends for me these last 4 years. Going again in March. I let my skis go fast on the wide open groomers until my nerves give out. What a rush.

If your trip comes together let me know where and when. Who knows? Might be able to do a few runs together. I'll bring cigars for the apres-ski.

We are hoping to have a great time and celebrate the day all out ..

Will post pics during the trip

cheers
