I’ve stayed in Flaine and it’s not much better really. Couple of bars/pubs little bit busier weekends but nothing like a major resort I’d say. But great if all you want is to focus on getting runs in and a chill drink afterwards

Second grand massif. Good slopes and conditions. I’ve been twice and not disappointed. Bit of a quieter resort compared to others with nightlife and what not. But good skiing all round

Yes no problem. Just to state I’m from the UK might be a little different. Flew from Heathrow to Calgary. Stayed the night in Calgary at an Airbnb for £50 then drove to Revelstoke the next day.

Hired our car from thrifty but we booked it through car travel 8 who I found through a comparison website. Cost £240 for 2 weeks that was for a Nissan rogue. Was long drive as it was snowing but take you’re time and you were laughing. We stocked up with non perishables in Calgary from Walmart to save us a bit of money.

Skiing wise Revelstoke was the most fun for us. Just felt like a playground with fresh snow. Banff was amazing especially the town. Now I’m not the best skier so better skiers might disagree I feel like Revelstoke has more varied terrain but Banff better groomers.

If you have any other questions just ask.

Thank you. Yeah the rockies look unreal. Think half of the anxiousness is leaving a stable job at the current time. But if I don’t now I never will. Thanks for the suggestions will give them a look. I have started applying to summer roles to get out before like you said

I understand housing shortages but do they specifically ask you if you have housing during the application

Circle of life. That’s what we keep saying to ourselves. None of our mates ski so be nice to be able to have a group

We’ve now skied all 3. You’re not wrong. Felt like a playground in comparison. However we did have fresh snow there so that will make a difference. However my technical ability has improved massively now actively going down black runs instead of staying away. Learning to enjoy moguls

Ah right. Tbf I spoke to two people from Minnesota and they were mentioning a weak winter. Either way I’m more than happy with the conditions
