Hey folks,

I'm looking for recommendations for a ski tour (primary goal is to make turns, rather than scenery) in the Banff/Kananaskis area that would be suitable for snowboarders (on snowshoes). All members of the group are advanced/expert skiers/boarders, all have taken avy training and have teh requisite gear.

Open to all suggestions.

Thanks,

Mike
