OK, if we decide to come to Banff/Jasper I will volunteer to be the Tour
Captain for the cruise. Jason would likely help out as well. I have
ridden most of the roads around here and can keep everyone off the slab.
And yes Easter is WAY to early in the season to be thinking off a
Banff/Jasper run. Spring skiing is barely over - if at all by that
time. If you want really good weather, your best bet is July/August. We
can still get snow in August around here, but it doesn't stay. Right
now we are having a heat wave of 28 - 35 C. For those of you down south
bring the long underwear because that is only 85 - 95 F.
Yes the country is beautiful, so come and spend some of those American
dollars!
