That sounds like a recipe for a solid bc bump run. That would be a fun spot in the spring.

In an ideal world, but my wallet can't support a popped edge or blown sidewall every season anymore. The username isn't ironic.
A few runs in ER5 takes up the entire damage budget on its own, thus one must pick and choose when to shred the ptex.

Next time you get a six pack of beer keep the clear plastic rings..melt that into the holes cheap fix that lasts. Get some dynastars. They take a beating but last.

Private mountain tour—Lake Louise or Sunshine Village
Hi all. Long time fan of the forum—first time poster.
We’re taking a group family trip to Banff/Lake Louise in February. The dads get to break away from the families for a day, and we’re thinking of doing a private “Guided Adventure” mountain tour at either Lake Louise or Sunshine Village. Which mountain would you recommend for the tour? We haven’t been to either one.
For context: we’re weekend warrior Tahoe skiers who spend most of the day schlepping our young kids around the mountain. We’re advanced resort skiers who spend more time than we care to admit on groomers. However, we aspire to be more well-rounded all mountain skiers, and we’re looking for someone to take us out of our comfort zone and show us around—somewhere we wouldn’t necessarily find on the trail map.
If you had to choose, which mountain would you recommend—Lake Louise or Sunshine Village?
Thanks for your help.

I wish people wouldn't post in dark blue text on a medium blue background. Even before my eyes got old it would have been hard to read.

Weird that my post showed in a different font. It looks normal from my end—black on white background. I hope this one is better.
Much appreciated on both lessons.

Fortunately using Tapatalk, so I don’t see the obscenity mentioned elsewhere!
However if the Dad’s have a free pass day, arrange a day trip to Kicking Horse and get a guide. Basically hire a level 3 local instructor and he will ferry you about. I don’t know anyone current…when my brother worked there, he got the family a guy by the name of John, was an ex-pay from the Eastern Townships…awesome guy. But split the cost of a level 3 or 4 guy that is local and you will have a blast. Arrange all in advance so the rug can’t be pulled.

This is interesting advice, thanks. We’re on Ikon, so I was focused on the skibig3 resorts. But I will definitely look into this. I want to take full advantage of my getaway day.
(Still paranoid about my font issue. Not sure if it’s resolved or still an issue for some users.)

Yep, that is him. He was a terrific guide and instructor for my wife, sister in law and my kids when I was down and out with a herniated disk. We also attended an Easter Service he ran at the summit lodge one year. A wonderful guy. Nothing negative to say about him. 12 or 13 years later, my wife still comments he got her down chutes she never would have otherwise considered, at the same time keeping my kids in line.

Any suggestions on Norquay discounts? Son has a freestyle comp there this weekend and the rest of us might want to ski and watch.
