days in revy

[06 Dragon]

Our go to place the last couple of years has been the Best Western Plus. Large breakfast buffet, two large outdoor hot tubs. Liquor store if you require it. Parking not the best but you can always park in the Sandman inn overflow lot. The breakfast buffet is the best around, would probably pay at least $15 per person for it

Yep Stayed there a few times too. Had those little rooms upstairs and the place was heated with wood pellets. Always smelled like a campfire in there which we loved. I think they used to make you a bagged lunch too to take with you on the ride. Forgot about that place.

This thread brings back some amazing memories. We used to drive 14 hours from Regina to Revy. 4 in a truck with a 4 place trailer loaded. Stayed at the Powder Springs Inn. They had sledders rates. They used to charge per person and it was $13.00 per night per person and it included a buffet breakfast in the restaurant they had there. The rooms were a dump but they had kitchens in them and they would let us use their big commercial clothes dryer to dry our gear every night. The buffet was actually decent too. Had eggs, pancakes and all the bacon you could eat. My one buddy was a bacon freak and he would eat $13.00 worth of bacon every breakfast LOL.. We knew at the time that they were losing money every time we showed up but they kept the pricing for a few years before they increased it. I remember one year laughing because we called and they apologized for increasing the rates to $20.00 per head per night and it still included the breakfast LOL. You couldn't live at home for what it cost to stay there. Is that place still there?

I remember paying $26/night/person there. Same deal though. The shower heads at bellybutton height was a pain though.

There were some awesome parties in the ol "powder" Springs. I recall if paid you for 2 nights the 3rd was free in the spring. We used to get the 2 rooms upstairs that bedrooms in them. I don't recall ever getting a complaint from the front desk. We had half the regent in those rooms sometimes. Hard to believe the copshop was across the street.

Yeah Powder Springs was the place back in the day, they even had a massage therapist there for a while. Easy walking distance to Regent, Stokers, the Rock Pit and stumble back, good times. I don’t remember it being the nicest place but it was always clean. What kinda shape is that place in now? I’d imagine if it hasn’t had a Reno it would be pretty rough. A lot of memories flooding back after reading this thread, I can only imagine how much I can’t remember lol.

Ah the memories! That used to be the absolute go-to when we got into revy sledding. Brekkie was awesome, the old fukker would read out the weather report for the cat ski slab drivers, and the pub was good!

…..then the ski hill opened. With that came getting fumigated out of your room at 7am and 7pm by the electric lettuce and a whole new vibe. No renos, prices went up like crazy, we GTFO’d for better spots.

 

[oler1234]

We used to just show up a revy and find a room…

Since the hill opened, good luck!

They're shipping them in from the coast because Vancouver can't handle the volume and can't afford to house them. Welcome to a socialist NDP govt. Casually ship them to become someone else's problem. They used to just let them out of the prison and they'd eventually find their way back to the coast. They did this in a lot in Oliver too after they built the new prison, and eventually the govt bought a motel and converted it to get them to stay, thinking they would become seasonal workers for the orchards. Guess what happened instead? The dealers just moved to the Okanagan. Same thing happened in Prince George.

They're shipping them farther inland now because the municipalities are fighting with the provincial govt to get more funding. Govt knows they can't fund it all because they are broke, so relocate the problem and put their heads in the sand. Trail is going to build them a shelter right next to a daycare because they don't have any more affordable housing. There are at least 6-8 full on year round van / camper set ups at the campground beside the lower Gorman parking lot in Golden right now. Took a drive through there on Sunday and one guy has a mini house in there and a couple cords of wood stacked up. Things are going to get worse before they get better unfortunately. Lock up your sh!t when sledding this season.

Not so much p.g

It's quesnel, Vancouver sends all the crackheads to the reform place there

Hence why queernell has the 2nd highest crime rate in Canada

We offered William 50 grand for five winters on one of those big apartments. 2Double queen in the main area with TV and then two queen bedrooms. Those rooms were sick. I actually became really good friends with William from the Gateway. He was a pretty cool Chinaman
Back in those days I was doing 25-30 trips a season. we would call last minute and I swear he kicked out skiers to get us a room lol

Quesnel has gotten really bad for this. Just finished a few projects there and luckily not many incidents but lots of people strolling around
