no info... from experience.
First... lets start with the terrain... Lake Louise is the best thing going for Banff... about 4000 acres compared to over 8000 acres at Whistler Blackcomb. Yes, the rockies are higher meaning a good chance of never seeing rain (i will give banff that).
Second... nightlife and the sausage fest that is downtown Banff... I believe my local friend who happens to be a female said the ratio was about 11 women for every man. Now some can argue the same for whistler but our ratio is closer to 6:1. be prepared to pay for the cab to drive your ass all over town... you can walk all over the town of Whistler and we have way more bars and a better vibe... Whistler is actually known for the partying.
Third... location, you can access both Whistler and Blackcomb from the village... approx. 50 feet seperate the two lifts. In Banff get ready for the 20-30mins bus/car ride to the resorts... and if you have no wheels get ready to pay about 15-20 bucks for the bus ride.
I could list more but those are the major ones.
Banff sucks dude.
