I have not done it, but I have considered it. The gate is right on Highway 40. I mapped it quickly and I think you're looking at over 8 km just to get to the base of the mountain, almost entirely uphill. The ride down would be fun though.

This is the classic book of backcountry ride in Western Canada: http://www.amazon.ca/Summits-Icefields-Canadian-Chic-Scott/dp/189476546X/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1320948337&sr=1-7

I can recommend Black Prince Cirque as a beginner spot, or Bow Summit. Here's BPC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7NmA13EPRc

And here are your avy warnings: http://www.avalanche.ca/cac/bulletins/partners. Reports will also give hints about where the best riding is (direction of face, treeline or above, etc.). I strongly suggest you take a two-day avy course if you haven't already.
