Just a little background, ever since I was a little kid growing up in Buffalo NY, I've been a Flames fan cheering against the hated Oilers dynasty. 1986 and 1989 were great years, and I continued to love the Flames during the dark years (when cheering for the Blues, see my sig, made things easier to swallow).

Anyways, long story short, during the dark times I promised that if the Flames ever had a playoff game again (remember at that time, well before the new CBA, teams in Canada were being replaced by Southern US cities),that I would make the trip out west and go to a game. Never did in 04, what a massive regret. Excuses aside, this year I convinced my girlfriend and April 12-18 we're going snowboarding in Banff and going to whatever games we can! Of course, the first game after we make the airline reservations, the Flames get blanked! Of course, haha.

In any case, anyone have any suggestions as to where the best place to ski in the rockies is? Also, where should I stay in CGY? Thanks!
