As requested by @David Chaus - here is an offical thread for the Alberta spring gathering in mid-April.
Here is the roll call - add yourself, dates and where you are staying if you're staying in the mountains:
1) @albertanskigirl + SO (Apr 15-18, Banff)
2) @David Chaus + 1 (Apr 14-18, Canmore)
3) @Jenny + 1 (Apr 15-21, Banff)
4) @VickieH (Apr 15-21)
5) @Mike Rogers (weekends, at least)
6) @Poolskier Vinny (April 15-17)
A couple of things to think about:
1) Since we are all going to be around it looks like at the beginning of the week, I will call the Park Distillery and see if we can get a reservation for Monday, April 16th at 7pm. I'm going to call and book for 10, and then we can adjust leading up to the date. But please confirm if you are interested in group après/dinner on Monday.
2) I think @David Chaus 's plan for Louise and Sunshine works well. I'm happy to go wherever anyone wants to go. I'm also very happy to take any intermediate/low advanced skiers around either of the mountains during the day. I'm not the person to ask for the expert spots on the mountain
3) @Jenny won't be skiing (I think?) so I am also planning to do a day of fun sight seeing/driving around. I will probably take one day and do some driving/sightseeing along the Icefields Parkway with others - if anyone else is interested, let me know!
4) If anyone is staying close to someone else, and they don't have a car, we might consider carpooling some days to the resort. That is an option, as well as the shuttle, of course.
If anyone is interested, we could also set meeting places/times at Louise and Sunshine in the morning too.
