Question for Neighbors to the North

Not sure if you intended this to be answered north of the border, but it will likely be cheaper to carry stuff home. US border officials don't seem as tax-and-Duty-obsessed as Canadian ones are, and shipping will probably cost more than the "extra bag" fee unless you're talking about car doors or something.

I'm not sure there's all that much to buy in Whistler except ski-wear and drinks for ski-bunnies. Have fun and don't break a leg!

Just returned from Calgary, new carry on rules in effect. If what you buy will fit in a briefcase you are ok, but no roll on luggage allowed.

I would recommend packing light ...

Are they still preventing anyone form reading a book or using the lav for the last hour? These rules are so pointless. All because somebody didn't bother to check the "no-fly" list.

Mark,
Don't know about the "Final Hour" restrictions. I'll find out tomorrow. As one commentator said "If he had been whistling "Yankee Doodle" at the time, they'd probably prohibit that also". Typical knee-jerk reaction. I wonder how big a fortune I'm going to have to pay to check all my ski equipment? Looks like air travel may be going back to the old days where only the wealthy could afford it.
