Hello everyone,
I've just had the painful ordeal of paying the first half of the 11 week Big White course! Anyone else still suffering from the same bruised bank account?
I'm hoping to get my equipment in Big White so that I can get any problems sorted quickly.
Six months is far too long!

| You're a lucky bunch... I was out in Banff in April 2007, had a fantastic time. Definately recommend getting your gear when you get out there, they're a helpfull bunch, much better than the chimps in snow and rock and the like. |

buy equipment back here in the UK or wherever your home country is.
i did last season course, got to big white on 10th december. the gear they have in the shop is good but limited and no cheaper than it is here really. Much much more variety in the UK. and if your a snowboarder its even more limited in big white, most people went down to kelowna to get a board which is a pain in the arse when all you wanna do is get on the slopes!!.....Dunno what Banff is like for buying gear, better i would have thought, but thats my advice for the big white crew anyways!
but the course is awesome, so is big white and you will all love it!! |

| Just looked on the SnowSkool web page.. no visas needed for tourists unless you're from Africa or Asia. |
