Buying a Unit in the Canadian Rockies

I am here

"RIMike, if you're still out there, I think you'll enjoy dealing with the people at BGMR - Mike Speiss has been particularly good to us and a real pleasure. Some of them have been there a long time now (Andrea, Mike, and Steffen) so it's nice to have continuity like that."

I have been to BGMR and have found it enjoyable. They (Andrea, Mike and the group) worked well with me this past summer as I took a group of ten, five boys, ages 1-10 and five adults to the Canadian Rockies. The resort is rustic, but perfect for the setting. This coming summer friends are using the resort as I am going to Alaska.

As for whether or not this is a good trader, I think others would know better than I, as I have not traded it since buying. Instead I or others have used it since I purchased the TS. But if I were buying for the Canadian Rockies, I think I would buy the WorldMark Points as they have resorts in lots of locations around the world including the Canadian Rockies.

Good ideas there for trading... like you, I never did trade my BGMR week.

Ironically, we just sold our BGMR week. Certainly nothing to do with the resort itself, but we have 6 timeshares (now 5) and had to choose one to sell just because of the fees. BGMR drew the short straw, mostly because of the special assessment for this year - that extra $675 was just too much for this year. I expect we'll be back in there again at some point soon, though!

Now to decide whether or not to sell our week 9 at Banff Rocky Mountain Resort since we picked up a late summer week...

Good luck with the search for a good Canadian trader!
