For me skiing and snowboarding in China remains a niche activity. The decent ski resorts in China can be tricky to get to, which means that tagging on a day’s skiing or boarding to a short break in one of the major centres just isn’t possible.

Hey,
I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the last week in January and the first week in Feb, something like the 26th Jan – 9th Feb. If it’s an option, then I’ll keep you posted with our plans – I reckon it would be pretty cool!

Hey dude,
When’s your trip planned for? We just might be in the same area at the same time.
Although judging by your videos I’m pretty sure you could kill me on the slopes.

Hey Adam,
it looks like we’ve settled on Fernie Talking with friends has outstripped my ability to update the blog with my thoughts on the various destinations… I think I’ll probably post them anyway, some people may be interested
I think you’re going to be right about the terrain, powder and atmosphere. One the friends I’m going out there with has spent a fair amount of time riding in Canada, and really rates the terrain and the vibe. I’m really looking forward to it.
No doubt there are people reading this with more knowledge – but from what I’ve heard, Kicking Horse is around a 2 hour bus ride from Banff, and I think they do packages with the journey and lift ticket all rolled into one.
Hope everything’s going good with the rehab, and if you fancy meeting up for a bit of shredding in Fernie, just let me know!

Thanks! Yes, everything seems quite accessible from what I’m learning. How close is Kicking Horse? I didn’t realize I might be able to get there, too.
Cheers,

Adam
I have lived in Banff for 30 years and for all that time
there has been daily subsidized buses to all the big 3 ski areas from Banff. There is an argument right now between the hotels and the ski areas as who should pay what of the subsidy but i am sure that will be resolved before the fall.
There are also buses to Kicking Horse and Nakiska on a less frequent basis.
