And when you get back there you are going to set up your own company and employ us lot so we can get in on a work visa, eh?!?!

Yes, at a depressed salary of course as you are taking jobs from the citizens.

I don't need points! I just need to sell my damn house and I'm back there.

The best thing about Canada is proper doughnuts. Boy do I miss having a proper tim horton's doughnut. Now if we (Canadians) could just get rid of the monarchy it would be perfect.

Tim Hortons are in Ireland, when I was in Dublin last year I saw a few of their branches. What I miss is Booster Juice

Yeah I know, but I guess you just prepare for it, wrap up warm, don't take a piss outside.

Though when we have been there in the summer its been pretty hot too! I guess the benefit of being quite far inland etc. Took a trip down to Drumheller last time we were there and that was like a desert! Saw a bunch of snakes and stuff.

Its okay to pee (but it will remain in that spot until spring) just don't lick any metal objects. Remember Dumb and Dumber?

You do realise that it gets quite cold in Edmonton? Winter was the reason I returned to the UK (after 30 years). I'm yearning to return...

Yeah I'm after good long off piste rides. Was in Meribel in march and that had some great off-piste stuff. Not that fussed about the night-life

You'll love kicking horse then - we did three day's their last year (We were in Banff, and did an organised trip their for a day, liked it soo much we binned our Banff passes, hired a car and went their the next two days). Fernie is great (Did a season their), Whistler is good, around Banff is also decent (Avoid Jasper and anything on the east coast).

The US has got some good stuff too, but not in the same league as Canada from what I seen, though I've only been to the east coast resorts plus Jackson hole and Snowbird. Both good but nowhere near as good as what I mentioned in Canada.

If it's pure riding you're afer Canada is the best, nightlife wise it's not as good (Whistler is decent).

Best mountain in the world, for me anyway and I been doing it for 15 years and been to more resorts than I can remember, has got to be Kickin Horse - absolutey awesome freeriding. Steep, deep, great trees runs and amazing off piste.

Had a couple of weeks early on in Fernie this year when it was dumping big time and got another week a month back in St Anton, again when it was dumping - been a great powder year

Vancouver is isolated. You've got Seattle and Vancouver Island - but that's it. As well, you've gots to get up pretty early to watch live UK footie.

Actually Vancouver is better for my wife to see her family than being in the UK, and I spent the best part of the my adult life getting up early to watch footy ;-)

I've never boarded over there, only in Europe, but hoping to go over to North America next year for a month or so. Just came back from Cham. not the weekend gone, but weekend before that, 26 degrees in the town and 22 on the slopes and snow was pretty good considering the temp.

I've done a ski season there before, and been pretty regularily since to sample the winter delights, it's the main reason I'd go live there to be honest, I take my snowboarding pretty seriously ;-)

Be more interested in Vancouver, no real interest in the middle bits, kinda boring for my liking outside of the slopes.
