I am so thinking about next year....
Awww...thanks @Christy - it was so much fun to ski with you! It was great to ski with all of you, and to meet you all. Perhaps the western Canada gathering is not such a bad idea - we could definitely keep it up!
Maybe Marmot next year - maybe a little powder road trip? Castle/Fernie? Or if Valemount has something open, maybe Valemount/Marmot...as long as there's snow!
Hope I can make the Canadian Gathering next season....
I got the Ikon Base, and while the Big 3 & Revelstoke would make the most sense, I am dying to try out Kicking Horse and Whitewater as well..I know they are in opposite directions...

Whitewater and Red Mtn are about 1 and a quarter hours apart and Schweitzer ID is not far away either.
At the Utah Gathering JohnL and GarySkier and Ski3po were asking me about the feasibility of flying to Spokane in mid or late January and doing it and if I was interested in joining them. My answer was Yes and Yes....so just sayin B.C. and Idaho, eh?
Well, if we consider Schweitzer to be at the southernmost end of the Selkirks, which it is, and that the Selkirks are primarily a Canadian mountain range, then Schweitzer can be safely considered part of a Canadian Gathering.
And since both Schweitzer and Whitewater are included in the Powder Alliance and included with my season pass to Stevens, I have no objection to Red/White/Schweitzer. You might have to twist my arm, but minimally. Go ahead, twist my arm......
I'm doing really well - been out of the boot all week and into real shoes. Have walked a ton, probably more than the doc anticipated. Did the Bow River Trail, Fenlands Loop, and the Bow Falls Trail, as well as up and down Banff Ave. about 1000 times. All seems to be good . . .We might even try to come. Still skiing here but I could pry myself away for a week if banff was the locale.
Heal fast Jenny
If you are looking to do the rotation thing, AND Jasper is on the radar, it might be good to wait until Valemount get's running. Jasper isn't really close to anything, but it's only a 90 minute drive to Valemount!
Waiting for ValemountCould be a long wait. If any construction was going to happen this summer it would have been announced by now.
Valemount has all support and approvals that they need except for the most important one....a financial backer with deep pockets and more money than brains.
I just checked the Valemount website. the "Latest News" is over a year old.
