    Any Banff Maggots up for a tour?

    I am going to be in Banff April 6-14 and am looking to hit the backcountry. I am good shape and have 2 years of ski patrol at Crystal Mt and Alyeska. I am up for pretty much anything from daytrips to multiday trips in either a tent or hut.

    Anyone interested?

    Unfortunately I have a tentative plan for a vacation around that time, but if it falls through I am in for a bunch of day trips.

    Hey man! Going to be in my neck of the woods???
    Give me a PM before you come, I am not sure what I'll be up to, but perhaps a tour or a Revy day could be in order!

    Well... April makes things much more interesting... spring conditions, no school (well less school) lots of sunshine... better prospects of getting me away from my desk in April!!!

    Cool, looking forward to getting there. Will contact you guys when I get closer. Anyone have any ideas on a cheap place to stay. I will be going solo.

    Hostels in Banff and Louise.

    http://www.hihostels.ca/en/index.aspx?sortcode=2.3.8.17

    Less well known is the old YWCA, which is now the Y Mountain Lodge. Easier walk to the downtown bars.

    http://www.ymountainlodge.com/

    My usual stop is the winter camping at Tunnel Mountain in Banff or the Louise campground. Electrical hookups and showers available for about the same price as a dorm bed at the hostels and Y.

    If anybody has room to crash, I can offer beer, food, and a place to crash in Girdwood, AK in the future.

    If things stabilize out a bit I'm up for a tour. I should be available to tour the 6th, 7th, 9th, 11th and most of the following week.

    Are things kind of sketchy right now?
