I spoke to a few people from Whistler and they said road closures on the Sea to Sky hwy are quite frequent and can sometimes last for some time. Is this a concern for people travelling to the conference, in my opinion I would say it is. The road from Calgary to Banff, from what I understand is a four lane highway all the way.
Also as 407Driver said the airport at Banff is still open so there would be no problem for people who wanted to fly into the event and would be great to have some of the manufacturers put their aircrarft on display for attendees to have a look at.
Another option I am looking at is the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel which is also a very nice property. Any comments from people on this one.
Banff Springs Hotel
Looks like a nice place and is in the middle of Banff so not as far to get to as the one at Lake Louise.
Just out of curiosity how long would it take to fly from Vancouver to Banff in say a 206.
Thanks again.
