541.0. "Banff - Lake Louis Infos" by FRAIS3::SCHOENHERR (DIETMAR SCHOENHERR) Tue Jan 07 1992 08:22

I'm sales representative in Frankfurt/Germany (@FRS).

In February I want to go to Banff, Lake Louis or Sunshine Valley for skiing. I 
will fly to Calgary and rent a car there.
Any recommendations for good car rentals?
Any recommendations for nice hotels, log cabins or lodges in the area of Banff, 
Lake Louis and Sunshine Valley?
Can I get some infos about snow, temperature in February, lifts and slopes?

Thank you for some answers.

    Try asking in IOSG::EURO_SKI. I know one of the noters who is going at
    Easter. He would be glad to help with recommendations.
    Alternatively DSSDEV::SKIING has smoe notes on Canadian resorts.
    
    A friend of mine, Rumi Merali, runs his own heli-ski company in the
    area. Good rates if you can afford it at all...

    As to car rentals, the best deal that you can likely get, except
    for special promotions, or from small rental companies is from
    Avis using the 'Digital' rate which you are allowed to do for
    personal rentals.  The big companies do offer 'Package Rates'
    which may or may not be better depending on how far you're likely
    to drive.  The Avis Digital rate is unlimited mileage ... where
    the package rates like 'See Canada' tend to be limited to 200km
    a day which can be nothing when touring ...
