COP - Big Air, & Halfpipe. maybe moguls, and ski freestyle
Nakiska - Slopestyle, moguls, ski freestyle
Lake Louise - GS/Downhill - recall, it was single lane/undivided to Lake Louise back in 1988. The highways are much improved since then, although more traffic.
Fortress wasn't involved in the Olympics, and besides it's looking like it'll be re-opening in 2018.

For alpine events, I think they're fine.
