scouser 4 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Hey hutch, keep in touch = let us know how it is over there. You've got me interested in Hakkoda, wouldn't mind going up there this coming season. Link to post Share on other sites
Higuma 0 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Hutch, Hope you enjoy Fernie... I haven't skied there in about 10 years so I can't profer advice.... I have friends in Kaslo and they say that it's heaven on earth.... Last time I went through Kaslo / Fernie area I was the proud recipient of a rather hefty speeding ticket - so my memories of the area are not that good... Things in BC have changed a bit in recent years.. my advice.... don't read the newspapers or watch BCTV News as it's so depressing.. just ski. live and love.. Enjoy the POW... it's some of the best there is but don't be a stranger we're only a few clicks away.... Link to post Share on other sites
