Here you’ll enjoy the driest, lightest snow, terrain to suit every desire, and amenities perfect for your taste and budget. Most importantly, it’s all surrounded by the unspoiled wilderness of Banff National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). It’s rare to find ski resorts in the middle of real wilderness, but there are three of them where we’re going. Mt. Norquay, the Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Sunshine Village all work hard to look after this stunning environment, and to look after you when you visit. With a tri-area lift ticket, rental services, and an award-winning snow school, you can easily enjoy the perfect winter ski vacation.

Mt. Norquay is just minutes from Banff. This family-friendly mountain offers outstanding conditions for beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers and riders and it offers the only night skiing in the Banff-Lake Louise area, including a fully lit terrain park, and expert snowmaking on 85% of the terrain. Since opening in 1926, Mt. Norquay Ski Resort has been the locals’ gem. It’s also famous for being the training ground of Olympic and World Cup athletes. This is the best-kept secret in the Canadian Rockies!

Lake Louise Ski Resort is known for its spectacular scenery and versatile terrain. With over 4,200 acres spread across four mountain faces, Lake Louise is also one of the largest ski resorts in North America. Just minutes from the village of Lake Louise, the ski area’s exceptional layout allows families and groups of all abilities to ski together with beginner, intermediate and expert runs from every chair. As well as receiving the #1 Ski Resort in Canada at the World Ski Awards, Lake Louise has also been awarded with the 2015 Visitors’ Choice Award for best terrain by readers of OnTheSnow.com. The Lake Louise Ski Resort offers a variety of terrain from gentle slopes and long cruising runs to glades, chutes and some of the Canadian Rockies most exciting and wide-open bowls. When visiting Lake Louise Ski Resort, be sure to take your camera! The spectacular views of mountains, glaciers, lakes, and forests are truly unique and befitting of Canada’s first National Park. Lake Louise is consistently voted the most scenic ski resort in North America

Sunshine Village Ski Resort sits high on the Continental Divide in the heart of Banff National Park just 20 minutes from Banff. Three sprawling mountains provide breathtaking sight lines, uninterrupted by any signs of civilization. You can ski/board across the Continental Divide, and from Alberta to British Columbia and back. Sunshine can receive up to nine meters (30 feet) of snow in a season and the Village’s altitude of 7,200 feet ensures the snow stays light and dry. This world-renowned resort features more than 3,300 acres of skiable terrain, ranging from gentle beginner runs all the way up to extreme big mountain runs. Sunshine’s very own Delirium Dive has been named one of the 10 top off-piste destinations in the world. Sunshine Village also was awarded “Best View from the Best Off-Piste Run” by Ski Canada magazine.
