Kicking Horse. Arrived in Calgary at 6.25pm to be met promptly by Pure travel rep. David. At that stage we had been travelling for 26 hours and had not eaten that well. When we suggested to him to allow us 3/4 of an hour to allow us to get a meal at the Delta Hotel, he informed us that he, by law, could not drive after 12 midnight and that we would need to leave immediately as he would run out of time. Needless to say, this was rubbish as he was able to get us there by 10.25 pm to find all the food places closed in Kicking Horse. But, after a bad start, it was all great after that. The Moutaineer Lodge was excellent, the Phat Camp skiing program was great value, the food at the Cork restuarant was to die for, no queue lines, great snow and very friendly people. To such an extent that we are thinking of taking our whole family plus friends back there in Jan. 2012. Great advice there Abigail. Then onto CMH with the Ross Grant group at Bobbie Burns. To summarise, fabulous, famous and never to be forgotten. On the last Friday, we skied in Camelot conditions. Even the guides said it does''nt get any better than that. Wonderful snow, bluebird day and skiing in God''s garden.Enough indeed.
