JC found this wonderful tour pacakge to ski in Banff, Canada. Most of us have not skied in Banff before and it was a nice experience for all of us.
Our flight from Houston to Calgary was 8:55AM, so we got to IAH pretty early and flew to Calgary around 12:30PM. With issues of finding our large sized luggage (ski bag), we waited for another hour to get it. The shuttle ride to Banff was pretty smooth. After we arrived at Banff and found out that the hotel JC selected is in a very good location as far as getting around Banff and taking ski shuttles.
After we settled into the hotel rooms, we all ventured out to check out the town and to settle the equipment rentals. The rental package includes delivery and pickup of equipments to and from our hotel. It was very nice and saved us a lot of time and energy of carrying them.
Banff is a small and beautiful ski town with just one major street - Banff Avenue. As usual, there are a lot of boutique clothing shops and some name brand clothing shop like Lululemon, North Face, Arc'teryx, and Patagonia. It provides a lot of selections for shopping winter clothes.
Per hotel staff's recommendation, we went to Banff Ave Brewing Co for dinner. It is a nice restaurant and has a really brewing setup there. They also provide brewing tour during daytime.
