Replying to Possibly coming over that way

Hey so i'm at a fork in the road with my life
Job market sucks, so i'm thinking of making the most of it and coming over to ski for a while..

I have some friends in Big White and a couple in Whis..

I live in Australia, so assuming I can get from Sydney to Vancouver - whats the best way to get to BW? Fly or Bus? and would I need to book in advance or can i just cop a bus ride from the airport (i.e. how frequent are they? cost?)

I would be looking at last minute accommodation, but I think i would be ok if I could get to one of the resorts whether it be Whistler or Big White.

Any advice for me in general?

Thanks guys, i rarely look for advice on these forums but in this case it could be useful!
