Snow conditions are great right now. I don't think any 2'+ dumps have really occured but a steady snowfal for over a week now on and off. Good time to come, avy's (although always a risk) are less frequent (avalanche.ca).
I like to stay at the Best Western which is always a sure bet but thats not the only worthy establishment by any means.
Have fun!

Best Western is good,everyone sits in the lobby around a fireplace to tell the stories of the day and have a few drinks.
Fairly secure parking as well!

And you can ride down the waterslide in the garbage can although the flagstone in the lobby wreaks havok with the steering when you are ottoman lugeing down the hallways.

HA HA HA, too much booze = good times. The cops didn't even kick us out, just suggested that we perhaps settle down a little. :d:d:d:beer::beer::beer:

Flying O.K. You can still wave to us as you go by! Enjoy your trip. One thing you will really like is that every time you stop other rider's will stop to see if your o.k. In Ontario you could be carring a gas can and most will just go right by. Climine and Milladge are nice areas that I've been too.
