I had some thoughts on this during the early days of the web, recognizing that the travel agent business was in jeopardy, i thought they would 'refactor' themselves as the travel experts for their area. Apparently, not the case.

There are lots of sites going after the market much like Travelmuse/tripwolf. Have you tried planeteye or dopplr? I'm not sure if they are any better.

In many ways, I think these sites are trying to do what you describe, though I don't think anybody has cracked it yet. Of course tripadvisor is another good source which I have relied on from time to time.

Hope you had a great time in BC, and made it up to my hometown of Whistler too.
