Comments on: Powtown: Is Calgary the Biggest (and Best) Ski Town in Canada? http://mikeberard.com/blog/2009/03/11/powtown-the-biggest-and-best-ski-town-in-canada/ The blog of Whistler B.C.-based writer Mike Berard Tue, 01 May 2012 15:45:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: ross janzen http://mikeberard.com/blog/2009/03/11/powtown-the-biggest-and-best-ski-town-in-canada/comment-page-1/#comment-222 ross janzen Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:48:57 +0000 http://followingthedie.wordpress.com/?p=637#comment-222 So i sort of understand understand what your trying to get across with naming Calgary the best ski town. I just have a huge problem with calling it the best ski town in Canada when it has sno on the ground less then 30 days a year and everyone bitches and complains all winter long. The only ski hill actually near the city is a terrain park and said "city" is a culturally void strip mall . Sure they have lots of money to drive up to 3 hrs to get to 7 different resorts on the weekend. Yippeeeee. How many resorts are in driving distance of New York city. If it was a real resort town and it snowed wouldn't the "city" shut down. Everyone then returns to work at 2pm after skiing all morning. That's what happens in every ski town i have ever lived in or visited. I guess we all know what rules the day in Calgary. Killer photos mike, that Ross guy shreds So i sort of understand understand what your trying to get across with naming Calgary the best ski town.
