491.0. "Ski Banff - I'm ready!" by DPDMAI::NORTON (Jean Norton) Tue Aug 13 1991 20:27

    When can we start to ski at Lake Louise/Sunshine/etc?  Is the 1st of
    November too early?  Where's the best place to stay? What are the
    costs?

    I'd say 1 Nov is gnerally too early for skiing at Lake Louise/Sunshine. 
    Early to mid-December would be better - one of the Calgary folks should
    be able to give you more info.  Out at Whistler/Blackcomb the official
    start is November 22, 1991.  They will start earlier if there's enough
    snow - last year we started on November 8 ( it was rather limited
    skiing however :-) ).

491.3How's the weather?LISVAX::GRAYFri Dec 04 1992 11:0111
    
    This seems like an appropriate title.
    Only 2 weeks and counting before I head for Calgary. How's the snow -
    can I expect some good skiing over Christmas?
    Is Nakiska worth skiing or should I stick to Sunshine and Louise? - I
    left Calgary in '85, so I'm not too familiar with Nakiska.

    PS Hows the temperature? - we're still getting a few days of +15C here
    in Portugal!
491.4Cold !!!CGOOA::BCLARKEFri Dec 04 1992 13:3411
    It was -6 Celcius here this morning ... which has been warming up from
    the -20 we were getting earlier this week. The radio say's that it is
    approx. 10 degrees colder in Banff. snow has been falling pretty good,
    so the conditions are not too bad (for early season).
    
    Nakiska is actually not too bad, but I would check snow conditions
    before heading out. They traditionally don't open up all runs until
    January. Lake Louise opened early this year and the snow is supposed
    to be pretty good.
