Replying to "Best" Mountain in Banff area?
Me and a friend are planning to move out to Banff to work and ski for the winter, with the drop on earlybird prices coming up, i need to decide which mountain i want to ski. From what i've been told i'm edging towards Sunshine because of its proximity to Banff (where I'm going to be working) its av. snowfall (30 ft) and its large amount of terrain. But i don't want to be forced into a blind decision, so i'm hoping some of you can help me decide.
From what i have seen Lake Louise and Norquay don't get any more snow than i do here in Ontario, and that concerns me, I don't ski groomers, I love park, and backcountry/tree skiing and thats why i'm getting out of here.
In what ways are other mountains better/worse i.e. Lake Louise or Norquay? How is the park? How is the backcountry skiing? How is the community? As well as any other helpful hints would be appreciated.
