6 Reasons To Ski Banff National Park
1 – Visit three new resorts
Not only will you discover one new ski area on this trip – you’ll discover three: Mt Norquay, The Lake Louise Ski Resort and Sunshine Village. The three resorts boast 8,000 acres of skiing, two gondolas, 26 chairlifts and 30 feet of dry Canadian Rockies powder every year! The best part? One tri-area lift ticket will get you into all three resorts.
2 – There is something for everyone
Such variety of resorts means you’re in for a variety of terrain! From friendly groomers to steep chutes – the three resorts will keep you skiing new runs every day. Advanced skiers will appreciate the unique freeride terrain like Delirium Dive at Sunshine Village and The Back Bowls of The Lake Louise Ski Resort.
3 – Get more for less
With a very competitive exchange rate, visitors from the US and UK will notice that their money goes further in Canada! Experience the best that Canada has to offer and keep a few extra bucks in your pocket.
4 – Ski in a UNESCO World Heritage Site
