hey a friends dad just offered to take me and his sons on a trip, give me your opinion on the resorts, I want to ride some gnar gnar pow cause im from Toronto so Im not too worried about park, heres the trip (btw i will be going march 16th / 09)::: Depart from Toronto to Calgary, get in a rental suv, drive to sunshine lake louise, stay a couple days there, drive to revelstoke, stay a couple days, then to kicking horse, stay a couple days there then back to calgary for the return flight, for a total of 7 or eight days. All thoughts are welcome + K thanks
 
i have not skied revelstoke but i here it is amazing and has lost of pow if i were u i would just go to kicking which i have skied and it has awesome terrain and revelstoke. although sunshine still has good terain there is no comparison between it and kicking hoarse and also revelstoke. but sunshine does have a descent park so its up to you
 
sounds like a pretty awesome trip. if you have time you should check out panorama, they actually have some pretty sick underrated terrain and its like an hour and a half south of golden.
 
I'd say, try not to book anything too far in advance, wait till as late as you can while keeping your eye on the weather in said locations. All those hills are big and good, but it's a bit of a drive between them so doing all of them in one trip will probably overwhelm you - taking away the fun.
So wait and watch - whoever has the best conditions (and hopefully getting the pow pow during your trip): go there and stay there for the whole week. If you're going to try and hit up all 4 in one week you'll end up spending a lot of time traveling either at night when you're tired and just wanting to chill in the hot tub at the hotel, or you'll be driving during the day and missing out on precious ski time.
that's my two cents.
 
Yeah snow definately does make the trip but you'll probaly save some scrilla by booking earlier. I've been to all those except revelstoke, and the one thing i would say is that if everyone your going with isn't a fairly good skier then they might not be to stoked on Kicking horse. there's really no easy way to get down from the top of gondola. And personally I'd say skip banff and just hit up the other ones.
