Anyone for Skiing?

My video wizard friend Rory has bought himself a house in what he believes to be one of the best places to Ski in the World... it's in the quiet town iof Fernie, in the Rockies in Canada, 3 hours drive from Calgary...
In an amazingly short time, he has kitted it out for up to ten people, and is now looking for folks to enjoy it.
Do you ski... there is a fantastic web site for it - http://www.fernieholidayhome.com/
