We had high expectations off Banff - everyone seems to like the place and we were looking forward to somewhere outside the city. However it wasn't as good as we thought on first impressions but we think that is due to our hostel - if you're 18 and want to drink with loud music it would be awesome, but after a few days we are warming to it.

It’s a very small pretty city and is easily walkable, with a great island park called prince’s Island that was very beautiful.

Hi all. So we drove from Quebec to Mont Tremblant of which we heard was the best Ski resort East of the rockies. Unfortunately the weather was against us, and it pissed with rain the whole way. Also set us back a day on the slopes because the rain played havoc with the snow.Anyhow the Town of Mont Tremblant was very pretty, nestled in the Laurentines north of Montreal, however the Mont Tremblant villege where we stayed was gorgeous. The village was coated in sno...
