Check into the charter excursions, last time I rode a lift with some
English people they were saying how inexpensive it was.

If you come to Canada and night life is one of your main goals, you'll
want to be in Whistler or Banff. I think Whistler is the hotter scene,
but Banff will be easier on the pocketbook.
