Eesh. Both of these hills look nice. I imagine most of the Ontario skiers know Talisman. I was there last winter over christmas. They had a nice park IMHO.
But has anyone been to Calabogie Peaks?
http://www.calabogie.com/
Same size, some more green runs for the rest of the family. It looks like that have a few jumps judging by the photos from last year. Its a bit cheaper. Does anyone know what their park is like? Does it only have 1 chairlift?
Thanks!

last year Tali's park was weak, you should go to Blue Mountain or Mt. St. Louis/Moonstone this year. Go to Blue - it'll have a kick ass scene this year. Where do you live? But ya, don't go to Tali' if your going to be in this area. Go to Blue. I'd choose Blue over that other place you mentioned too, I've said Blue way too much.

I went to calabogie a bunch of times a couple years ago, and I wasn't that impressed.. they didn't have ANY jumps (but that was 2 or 3 years ago) and their lifts weren't impressive either... maybe they've gotten better? If you end up there, let us know.

If you have to choose between those two definantly Talisman. But like Darryl said you should really go to Blue.
Talisman does kinda suck, when there park is good it's really good, but that's only like 3 times a year. At Blue the park is good from like 9 - 3 or 4 it always sucks for night skiing.
But I think I'm giving up on Talisman, I was an instructor their for the past two years and I'm definantly never doing that again (intructing sucks) and I'm probably not even getting a season pass there, maybe just go like 10 times with day passes.
Blue is definantly the place to go, best resort in Ontario. Anyway. Later.

Really they're allowing inverts. That's wicked because I was thinkin that it's going to cost me a lot of money to learn to backflip cuz noone allows inverts.
