I just wanted to rub it in before I leave for the holidays that next week when I return my company is sending me to Alberta, Calgary where I will be sure to spend every waking hour when I'm not working tearing Sunshine Village in Banff up!
Anyone from Killoggs in our around Calgary? I'm told the Ship and Anchor is a must stop pub as well.

There is a great little sushi place in Banff called Miki (I think), I found it when I was wandering around at midnight. Surprisingly cheap for Banff. And I'll agree about the Grizzly, though it is in the typical Banff price range (steep!).
I always thought Sunshine Village was the best ski hill, but lots of Calgarians keep driving to Lake Louise. It's a lot bigger I think, but I've only been there once on a crappy day. If you're gonna go a lot, let me know and I'll get you some info on season passes. They offer a multi-hill pass but I don't think it includes Sunshine. I also have a book with some ski pass coupons I'll never use.
How long are you relocated for? Where will you be working? Where are you staying? Will you know some people here? I can certainly help you out if I know what you're looking for.
