oh, if your in Fernie, you HAVE to go to the Curry Bowl, its the best food for the best price.
um, everywhere else I found there was not the gretest of food, and it was overpriced. um, Athena's was good food, but small portions and expensive. Alpine lodge has good Sushi, but VERY pricey...up on the resort is Lizard Creek lodge, very nice place. Old Elevator was in town, kinda pricey, but fine dining.

The thing I found out there was pretty much every resort was featured in some magazine or other saying it was rated 'best resort in BC' so, how can every resort be rated the best one each year? I think the tourism board pays a lot of money just for a mag to say they are the best.
If you can make it to Castle Mountain near Pincher Creek ALTA, it is not as busy and pretty cheap lift passes for how good the hill is.

it's been snowing at Kicking Horse all day.
I still have 29 days before I'm hitting up Kicking Horse and Fernie. But the excitement and anticipation is killing me!!!

if you're looking at their snow report page at K.H. , don't pay any attention to the base and accumilation of snow on the mountain. It's totally bunk.

as you can probably tell i am little bit of a skiing nut.. 5 pairs in my room alone, plus a burton, snow blades, and cross skate ski's..
mmm... less then a month...
I like these guys a lot. I think they're some retired peeps in Fernie who just live to ski(correct me if I'm wrong) and are good enough to put up reviews of their days on the hill. They give wicked descriptions of the conditions on a daily basis. You can recieve e-mail updates(like I do) every time their is a new review put up on their website.
Wicked help! Thanks Fut, Djzaonic and crew. I've been checking out their "official" sites everyday, but it's nice to get another perspective. Looks like snow in the forecast!! Really excited about Kicking Horse. Friends who have been there say it isn't called "Kicking Ass" for nothing. I think I've done my homework and am couting down the day's.
Again, thanks!
p.s. any more little tidbits I'll certainly follow up on.

yah, the people i know worked with my father here in wpg... saved up a ton of money, retiered early and bought a log cabin half way up the hill... they now run that as a bed and breakfast...
basically living to ski.. ahh, a simple dream that seems so distant at this point in time.
holy crap. Mt. Baker already has 30ft of snow this season. *sigh*
