Canadian Snow Season

Hi everybody, Trying to get some info on Doing a snow Season in Canada for the 2013/2014 winter

I still havent fully decided on a resort, but have heard good things from friends on both fernie and red mountain.

I am an intermediate-advanced snowboarder, looking for a good mix of backcountry stuff and parks aswell.
I plan on working during the season to help fund the length of the trip. Any thoughts and info would be greatly appreciated..

Cheers.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon Islands

I was wondering about hotel availability, or more specifically, bed and breakfast availability, in Saint Pierre and Miquelon, in the month of July. It is not a big place, but there seems to be a lot to do there, and it has great historical significance. Anybody have reflections on when they visited these islands?

Western Newfoundland late June

Hi all,
I'm doing a father/son trip for 7 days in western Newfoundland later this month and was hoping to get a bit of itinerary advice. We almost exclusively want to do outdoor stuff (hiking/kayaking/fishing) and have been leaning towards spending the whole time in Gros Morne Nat'l Park, but I'm now considering branching out a bit to Twilingate as well. So with that, a couple of questions:

1) Is 7 days enough/too long to do GMNP well (ie. should we head to Twillingate)?

• We fly in and out of Deer Lake and have a rental car.
• Roughly planning: tablelands, green gardens trail, trout river pond, hike to mont gros morne, western brook pond

• We will probably camp out several nights but would be nice to spend a couple nights in hotel/B&B without being tied to a fixed schedule.

Canada Day travel

I live in the US (Boston specifically) and, while I've traveled to many countries around the world, I've never been to Canada. Ridiculous I know. So I want to remedy that this summer. I'd like to drive up to Montreal for a long weekend, and looking at my schedule, the last weekend in June would probably be best. But I would be returning on July 1st- Canada Day. Is this a good idea (people are going to stay put and celebrate so there will be little traffic)? Or a bad idea (as in there will be a skeleton crew working and crossing the border is going to take forever)?

Any thoughts on the logistics of traveling on Canada Day?

Thanks in advance!

Flying to Spain in fall

It would seem there are rarely any seat sales or cheap flights for that matter to Spain form Canada.

I have checked the ubiquitous websites for prices, and they average $1200-1400 r/t. Perhaps flying to London then taking a RJ from there would be best bet.

Does anyone have suggestions, aside form getting the site travel alerts, on what would be rthe cheapest way to get to Spain in Sept/Oct or Nov?

cheers,

Outlet shopping in Toronto

Hi everybody, I'm from Germany and in July I'll have two days off on a quick business trip to Toronta. And I've already got a huge shopping list from my family. So does anybody have an idea whether it's cheaper shopping in Canada or hop over to the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls in the USA? It seems the choice is bigger in USA....
