LOL
I think its as fare as any derby can be. I have had friend win draw prizes. and win money on big fish 28 lbs. really cool to see fish that big. I caught my biggest pike there .20lbs and didn't even make the board that year. did I have fun ? you bet ,
hope I see some of you there. I attach some pick of the derby.

badger derby
last year was my first badger derby and had a blast. Plan to do it every year. didn't catch anything worth weighing but all in all a good time. that is why they call it fishing and not catching, can't catch the big ones all the time.

Have you ever seen the Banff Park Lodge or the Rimrock Hotel in Banff??? OK,It's nothing like those!!!
I think it's one of those places you might be able to pay by the hour!(More if you leave a deposit on the sheets)
Seriously though,I think it's booked WAY in advance for Derby weekend. It might be worth checking Vulcan.

Headed to Badger
Myself and my buddy will be headed out there , been going for the past 5 years or so and love it. Always pull the trailer on the ice and always want to be within a 1 minute quad ride to the portapotty... Not always the best fishing as it is late in the ice season but for a guys time out i love it. ...lots of spiced rum and beers and nothing but elk, deer and lots of jerky.... It's the most fun you can have without women.....
I will be out there on the Thursday night...if you want to come and have a cocktail or two let me know and I will give you my contact info...
Hope to see you there.
Kyle.
