Nobody here likes Revelstoke? It's virtually only a half hour past KH (if you're an early morning leaver like me, I can't afford that many hotels) because of the time change, and there's a great little bar there and a few good cheap hotels.
As far as Sunshine, I heard that the owners son was where his grandpa died, and was way away from the hill, not even on Sunshine property, and was wrongfully removed by ski patrol. (edit - Upon reading that site, it seems that my friend gave me a completely different idea of what went on)
Still seems pretty low to fire that many tenured employees because of one altercation though.
