Our Ski Club is considering going to Banff in March, 1986 (yes, we plan ahead). If anyone has information dealing with ski conditions, ski areas, lodging recommendations, sightseeing in the area, etc. I would appreciate hearing from you. Road conditions in Alberta at that time of year are also of interest. Thanks in advance for your help. ...bob garmise...at&t bell labs, columbus...

I and several friends went on a ski trip to Alberta a few years ago and had a great time. Most of our skiing was done at Lake Louise (a little ways west of Banff). It has (had) a little more advanced/expert terrain than did the area near Banff (I've forgot- ten the name). We skied 3 days at Lake Louise, 1 day at Banff, then drove up to Jasper (Marmot Basin) for another 2 days, then back home. As far as lodging goes, we stayed at a place called the Lake Louise Chalet (I think) in the village of Lake Loiuse, a short shuttle bus ride from the lifts. I think that the Lake Louise Chateau may be open in the winter now, tho I don't know what they charge (we were looking for cheap). Road conditions are variable, depending on when the last snowfall was, etc.
