Going to Banff at the end of February, what to do?

Q. Going for 4 days and am planning on skiing for 2 and maybe a 2 hour dog sled tour. Staying at the Banff Springs Hotel. What are some good restaurants/bars to visit with my wife? Any other must see spots? Thanks in advance!

A. My husband and I got married just outside of Banff in December 1999. There's loads to do in the winter, even if you don't ski. The Banff springs has an outside skating rink which is free and very picturesque. You can hire skates from the sport shops in town. Also, check out the nearby Johnson Canyon. In the winter, the waterfalls freeze and are just beautiful to look at. The walk is a nice exercise but not too intense. You can also hire snow shoes in town and do some trails.

If you are able to get to Canmore one night there was a restaurant called Zona's - not sure if its still there, but it was really nice - in a house. Sushi if you like it is pretty abundant in Banff too.

Lastly, there are lots of hot springs around the mountains - not sure if they are open that time of year or not.

Have fun!!

Have a great time!

What is the most luxurious hotel in your home province?
Q. Goal is to get 13 of the most lavish hotels in Canada,
One for each province and territory

I'd guess we have this

Alberta - Banff Springs

Quebec - chateau Frontenac

Ontario - Skydome?

edit these or add other provinces and territories?

A. Mariaggi's Themes Suite Hotel, Winnipeg

Inn In The Forks, Winnipeg

Highly recommend .

How long does it take to hear back from Fairmont Hotels after applying online on thier career website?
Q. I applied at the Banff Springs and Chateau Lake Louise 3 days ago. How much longer should I expect to wait before hearing from them?

A. Hi Samantha!

Almost all jobs are now applied for online. How fast they hire someone really depends on how quickly they need to fill the position and how quickly their Human Resource department is able to sift through the resumes and applications.

Right now in our current economic trend, there are probably hundreds of people applying for the same job. If you haven't heard anything within a week, give them a call and ask if they received your application and tell them that you are very interested in the job.

GOOD LUCK!!!
