The British based condo owners want to ensure guests travelling from the UK have the perfect holiday, so are keen to help as much as possible. They advise on where to find good deals on flights, value for money car hire, as well as endless activities available for those not just there for the skiing.
"In addition to the great powder snow, skiing in Canada seems to be slightly better organized than in some resorts in Europe. There is always plenty of parking, sufficient ski lifts to cope with demand even at peak times and many of our guests feel that they get far more ski runs in as a result of the better standard of amenities. You will also find if you visit with the family that basic fast food and beverages are not quite as outrageously priced as you might find in some European resorts. Canmore is truly a family playground suitable for all ages and abilities." said owner Richard Colwell.
