Awesome as the Canadians say! And they are not wrong.
Went to BW for 10 days in Feb 2007 and had a fantastic time.
The kids really enjoyed ski and board school and came on so quickly.
The terrain is very diverse, something for nearly everyone, great cruisers and excellent tree boarding. The telus pack is the best I have seen, the place is a boarders paradise. The lifts are so efficient, slopes very quiet mid week, almost had the place to ourselves.
Tubing was great fun and ice skating too.
I can recommend the repair shop in the mall, they hand waxed my board for only $16 (£7) whilst I waited. The conditions were so good that my board came back good as new, no damage at all, maybe I wasn't riding her hard enough, although with 2 cracked ribs ( from the ice skating,never again) I was taking it easy.
Had 3 days of fog, 3 days of snow and 3 blue bird days with the finest views in BC. A local told me that these stats are pretty normal for BW. Although, the mild temperatures -4 to +1, were bringing in a little more fog than usual. But it made the place very comfortable to ski especially for the kids. My advise would be to take some flat light gogs, yellow lens.
Try the soup at the market for lunch, it warms the cockles of you heart, if you have anything more, share with a friend or you will come home obese, like the Canadians' southern neighbours.
Stayed at the Snowbird Lodge, 2 bedroom condo that you could get lost in, with a private hot tub. Wow.
A long journey from the UK but well worth it. I will be going again, definitely.
