text: what mountain is the highest for skiing in british columbia. and is it taller than vermount and montreals hill   whistler has the highest vertical (5200 feet), and i believe kicking horse is the highest at +8000 feet.  sunshine, which sits on the border between bc and ab, is at 9000 feet. both of these are far more than vermont or montreal areas (i think an big hill in the east would have less than 1000 vertical feet-not including tremblant).
