I'd love the help, I live in Calgary so it's pretty easy for me to arrange
most of the stuff and I know the area.

I think the first question is, how many resorts in a row can everyone manage
in a single trip?

I've done a 3 day "weekend" trip with Sunshine, Lake Louise, and Kicking
Horse resort.  It's only an hour between resorts so really it's easy to do 5
resorts in 6 days or something.  Lots of different terrain that way too and
the ski towns are a total blast in March!  You end up not staying in the
same town more than two nights but if you can manage to book with the same
hotel chain I think we could get a deal...

etc
