| For a really small hill I would say Whitewater BC . Fun riding, no crowds, better for advanced riders |

| Depends on what you are looking for to make it the best. If you are after the best kickers then Banff wouldn't be the place. |

I suppose im just a maths geek to notice this, but see how they can manipulate a graph.
The difference in height between them doesnt work, differences go 167, 181, 88, 25, 306, 122.
The first jump is bigger than the second on the graph but not in the numbers.
The jump between whistler and fernie should be much smaller then the one between meribel and sunshine according to the numbers but isnt.
Before anyone says anything, yes i was bored! |

| Also with Fernie the two trips that I took in Feb I had to dodge puddles as the snow was melting, it may be an idea to research snowfall patterns. |

Most resorts have got their benefits but if powder and long runs are what you like - check out revelstoke. Average of 40 -60 ft per season. It is the only inland temperate rainforest in the world due to the huge amount of snow it usually gets.
have a good trip. |

were you thinking about a season?
i was in jasper on a course for 3 months last year, all our instructors were talking about revelstoke. It's supposed to be awesome.
i bagged myself 2 season passes for revelstoke at the snow show in london last weekend. Not sure if i'll get to use them though  .
Going to check if there any restrictions on them and then i'll be weighing up if i can use them myself for a couple of weeks or see if anyone else is interested in them.... Revelstoke website has them on at over $800 each!!!
Let me know if you are interested. |
