I am hoping to plan a week long trip to BC in March. The plan is to fly into Kelowna or Kamloops and ski 3 days in Revelstoke and 3 days at either Big White or Sun Peaks. I am a 45 year old intermediate skier with plenty of experience on groomed conditions, particularly Whistler but due to the crowds and just luck don't have a lot of powder experience. Hoping to experience the champagne powder of the interior I have heard so much about. Night life is not a major concern but any opinions on the skiing, restaurants, crowds etc. would be much appreciated.

interesting stats but make sure you look at the acreage as well. There are spots in Quebec with as much vertical as spots in BC but only a tenth of the acreage

That is a pretty broad question. There are many variables. I haven't been in about 4 years but was there many times prior. Your budget is the biggest question. If you want 5 star I have no input. I go to ski, not hang out in a hotel so ammenities are unimportant to me. The bus from Vancouver airport will get you there just as quick as a car and Whistler is not incredibly car friendly. There are lots but you can get anywhere on foot. I have never had need for a car there. If you stay in the main village everything is right within walking distance including the lifts to Whistler and Blackcomb. There are hundreds of shops, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and a grocery store. I don't know where you are coming from but I live in Ontario and have traveled with SkiCan and it has been very smooth every time and the packages cannot be beat by any regular travel agency.
