Hahah I've actually got a family cottage there, so I've been going there every year since I can remember. The skiing out west is far better. Places like Whistler/Blackcomb, Revelstoke, Kicking Horse, Lake Louise, Sunshine, Norquay, Big White, Fernie, and Panorama are all in a completely different class than anything east of Alberta. Not even close. They can be intimidating though, and far more expensive, and the only differences are the view (Jesus the view is beautiful), the amount of terrain, and the really steep stuff (Blackcomb glacier, whistler peak, Taynton Bowl, Whitehorn Gullies, Delirium dive, etc.), so if you're a new skier, there not much of a difference in terms of the terrain you're hitting.
The stuff around Ottawa isn't bad though. I taught at Fortune for about 5 years, and places like St. Marie, Edelweiss, Cascade, and Vorlage can be great fun to ski after a day of school/work.

Edited by Fotbitr: 1/16/2015 2:18:55 PMOh shit yo. I used to date a guy who was CASI 3 but he had taught out west. His home was Mt Sima but he spent a long time at Whistler/Blackcomb and Big White before coming here. He circuited a lot in season, the hills you mentioned plus a few more I think. Can't remember them all. I had the thought that you two may have shared the hill at some point :o I've lived all over the world and backpacked across countries but I've never made my way further west than Toronto (North of the border, anyway). I'm a shame of a traveler. One day tho. You sound pretty inspired hahah. Mind blown. You've given me something to dream of! :D [spoiler]My cover photo on Facebook is a photo he took of one of the mountains out West but I couldn't tell you which one :/. It's pretty incredible though. Too bad I can't skii for shit LOL[/spoiler]

Haha awesome! It really is an awesome part of the country. I have family that used to live in Canmore (About an hour into the mountains from Calgary), and it is one of the most breathtaking places I've ever seen. Its in the middle of a valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, right beside the Banff National Park.
