Which is better? Radium or Fairmont hotsprings?

[annasuave]

I like my springs hot, preferably without a lot of kids floating around in them.

I like Radium. No sulphur and the water is heated partially by Radon. I hope one day to leave the pool with a superpower but that hasn't happened yet.

[SeeGeeWhy]

I've sharted in both, and let me tell you, for my money nothing is better than Fairmont.

[octothorp]

Definitely Radium. Though Ainsworth is my favorite of the ones I've been to. I really wanted to get up to Laird this summer, but ran out of time.

Radium over Fairmont, though brats are more rampant at Radium.

Are talking hot pool or over all vacation experiance?

I was just typing Whiteswan hot springs!!!

I've been there 6 times and didn't realize it was called Lussier Hot Springs

Seriously though. It is the best one! It's Hot, Free and no kids

Location
The Lussier Hot Springs are located within the Kootenay Ranges of the Rocky Mountains in the East Kootenays. The hotsprings are situated near the entrance to Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park, at kilometre 17.5 on the Whiteswan Forestry Road, and are reached by a short 5-minute hike down to the Lussier River.

Vacation experience, I say Fairmont all the way.

As for which pool is better... they're both about the same IMO. Really busy, lukewarm, and full of kids.

Camp at Red Streak and walk to the Radium hotsprings.

If you or any of your friends are brave and like cliff jumping go here!

Twin Lakes I think it's called. just ask a local for directions.

I just spent the long weekend at whiteswan and lussier hot springs. i absolutely love it there. it's about a 4 hour drive from here. the hotsprings were steady every time we went, but that means there were about 15 people or so there. the upper pool is also much hotter than any developed hot spring like radium or fairmomt.

I think what I love about Fairmont is that there are legions of vacationers crammed like sardines into this:



When this is about 500 yards behind them all:

Take this for what it is worth as I dont have any scientific backing. I have herd that the ammount of water that is produced by the fairmont spring is much greater then the radium spring. Because of this fairmont has to add way less chemicals (I have been told 0 chlorine, but I dont know if i believe it) and they can release the water from the system much sooner, whereas radium must cycle their water.

I myself prefer the Lussier spring, but only in the winter when the volume of people is down.

EDIT: and the like poster above I go to the out flow rather then pay to get into the pool.

Most people would not use it anyway because it really is just used bathwater.

I did mushrooms under there one night

[You Need a Thneed]

Radium > Argon > Fairmont Hot Springs > Mercury.

I hate Mercury.
