Replying to In which West Canadian resort should I spend my season?

Hi guys!

I'm currently for 6 months in Canada, till early April. I'm in Vancouver till December, and then I'd like to spend the season in a resort with a friend. I'm looking for a resort with a great terrain park cause I'm just a park rat, although I'll do some BC sometimes. I've done some research, and I've read that Red Mountain, Lake Louise or Revelstoke (since they're getting a park this year) could be what I'm looking for (no Whistler, too expensive and don't want to have to sleep on someone else, though I'll probably spend a week there to see what it's like).
Which one of these resorts would you recommend me? Or maybe another one I haven't heard about? With a good atmosphere?
What are some things/tips to know when spending a season in Canada?

Thanks in advance!
