I recently returned from a snowboard trip to the Canadian rockies with Fresh Adventures. When I booked the tour I have to admit I was a bit nervous going on a tour and going to the Rockies, when I had always heard Whistler was the place to go. I spoke with Alex on the phone and he was very helpful, assuring me that the group dynamic would work really well and that the Rockies are some of the best skiing around. Well, he was right. The group was great, with people of varying abilities having a great time, and Alex was able to cater to many skill levels at the same time. I am fairly advanced and never had to wait for slower skiers, but no one seemed rushed either.
The Rockies were brilliant, with absolutely stunning scenery in every direction. I joke that it's not hard to make a postcard of the Rockies, just point your camera and you've got one!
We stopped at Lake Louise and the group went out on the ice, some even renting ice skates and skating with the glacier in the background.
The snow was great and the hotels were much better than I imagined, one with a grotto hot tub, and all of which had really nice rooms and friendly staff.
Over all I recommend this tour to anyone wanting to ski or snowboard in Canada, especially if you don't have much time for planning. Next year I hope to try the Powder Highway tour with Fresh Adventures. Thanks! Drew
