Hey Guys,

I am travelling to Vancouver between December 1st and December 8th. What hills should be open in that area by then and where would you recomennd I ski? Also would there be Heli-Skiing at that time of the year and if so what would be the best company to go with?

Just some extra info on me:

While I am out there I am not interested in park skiing I just want to take in the mountains/views and just get miles in so if the hill doesn't have a park it don't matter to me. Also I would classify myself as an "expert" skier, so difficult terrain doesn't intimidate me.

Thanks

Fernie is like an 11hr drive from Vancouver. For that distance, its'probably worth going to kicking horse instead.
