New Years Getaway

This year my roommates and I want to get away some time just after news years. We chose just after New Years because there isn't many free days between exams and Christmas and trying to book a hotel for New Years is not only extremely difficult if you haven't done it by now, but it's also extremely expensive.

Since we want to go somewhere out of Alberta, but want to be able to go skiing, we chose to make the trip to Kicking Horse BC. Next we picked the dates that we wanted to go. We decided on January 3rd-6th because the price goes back down to a normal out of season rate since it is after the holidays.

There is only one catch for me to this trip! My roommates consist of two boys! I don't really snowboard ( I've gone twice and am not very good yet) and all the girls I have asked to come so far are un able to. So potentially the trip may turn into me with four other smelly dudes for the entire trip! Hopefully I can find another girl to accompany me otherwise there isn't much point in going seeing as all the boys will be out skiing all day and I will be in a giant lodge by myself!

The lodges we were looking at had full kitchens and a private hot tub which is pretty sweet. I'm very excited for this trip because it will be the only trip that I do over the Christmas break, and the trip I took to Fernie was amazing so this trip will be like that but better. It will be better because there won't be any parents and little kids with us. Just a bun of twenty year olds in a ski lodge.

Has anyone done this sort of trip before? Do you have some suggestions in terms of a good place to look when booking lodges?
