Where are you coming from/ do you have an ikon pass or anything? You could just road trip it up the Rockies. Shit if I had five weeks and actual money I’d send it to Europe.

Hit Whitefish, super fun town and great ski hill. Cat skiing just out of town, and Fernie is less than 2 hours away.

I unfortunately do not have a lot of different experiences to offer, but i (coming from VT) made a trip out to Stevens and whistler last season. First day at Stevens right after a storm was incredible. I know there’s a lot hate now that they are on the epic pass, but I hit it at the right time and it was an excellent experience

If you don’t have a pass you probably want to hit western Canada day tickets at anywhere good in the US will kill you. The loon is pretty weak rn.

All very helpful. I have an epic pass but not opposed to something outside of that network - fernie looks great.

Any views on Jackson vs. Revelstoke?

Do you have the patience to wait an hour for the tram a couple times per day? There’s good skiing off the chairs at JH but the trams is own level but the wait is horrible. Everyone is from the East coast there.

Only been to Whistler don’t know the inner bc Alberta mountains.
