Multilevel contour plots

Basically what I want to do is:

I have created three sets of data and have contour plots for them. Now all I want to do is display them all, at the same time, at different Z locations. Imagine you know the contour of some value for three different floors of a building and you just want to display all of them at the same time with space between them.

I feel like this should be pretty simple but I am having trouble finding a solution.

The following code shows how to create a contour plot at 3 different locations other than the Z=0 plane:

   N = 20;
   L = 3;

   A = zeros(N,N,L);

   for k = 1:L
      A(:,:,k) = peaks(N);
      h = surfc(A(:,:,k));
      hold on;

      set(h(1),'visible','off');

      for i = 2:length(h);
          newz = get(h(i),'Zdata') + 5*k;
          set(h(i),'Zdata',newz)
      end

   end
