    Excellent suggestion. Lifts spin until 3am on Friday nights with live punk bands playing in the bar. Indian casino in nearby Turtle Lake WI for even more après-ski excitement.

    The Gov't hasn't defined what "recreational property" means for the exemption yet - but I don't see any 1/4 share condo construction at Shames yet.

    Troll has a few cabins does it not?

    Anyway - go away.

    Sorry eh.

    Seconded. You've got 18 days to buy a place in Canada before the foreign ownership ban comes into effect, so scratch us off your list!

    Love the troll house suggestion

    Nothing says gnar like 280 vertical feet.

    If you are however, stuck Midwest. I always enjoyed Porcupine mountain. Chill poorly run state park weirdness. And awesome views of Lake Superior.

    That place (Ski the Porkies!) holds a very special place in my heart, first memorable powder day there in the early '90s. From there on, I wanted to ski powder and lots of it.

    Sold the place after a year, of not being able to go. Never saw any of his stuff again.

    I think the OP should rent.

    A friend of mine was in the same boat. They sold out and bought in Sun Valley.

    But I think we can agree that Whistler is not the place to be if uncrowded pow is the desire.

    2 year ban then it's game on. Hopefully, that law will tank the Canadian real estate market making it particularly attractive to douchy American powder hounds once the ban is lifted.

    To the OP, PM me. I have a great 3 bdr 2 ba place on a trout stream just west of Bozeman, plenty of room to park a Sprinter. 34 minutes to the turn off to Big Sky and 35 minutes to the BB turn in. Make you a helluva deal.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    It won't. Canadians and the Canadian real estate market doesn't operate anywhere near like America. I would like to see it codified tbh.

    You're not wrong haha. I was there with a QC'r last summer and that happened half a dozen times. I was told French Canadian sounds like 1700s French that never evolved. The french are lovely, they just hate people who don't try. "Bonjour, parlez vous anglais" will get you on the good side real quick.

    Yeah, I wasn't going to post it but that's where I'd go if I were a young 20 something powder hungry ski bum right now. I haven't been there but I'm totally obsessed.
