Default May have to drive to Calgary this weekend....

Short notice, lightning trip, from Victoria to Calgary, anyone have an idea what the road conditions are like out there between Kamloops, Banff and on to Calgary.

I'm getting a dog and the earliest I can fly her here is late next week and I dont want to wait that long.

Any help is appreciated.

Default Between Banff and Calgary are clear.. no worries there, I think I would be more worried

about between Van and Kamloops!

Default I recommend looking at the BC Ministry of Transportation site before you head out.

Default Thanks, I decided to fly her here

$150 instead of the cost of ferries, fuel, hotel not to mention an additional 2,000k's on the car. Going to go skiing with the kids this weekend instead.

It would have been a good drive to do, but I'll choose the cheaper option as its only another 4 days and my wife talked some sense into me!!!!!
