Skiing

Nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine promises memorable skiing and snowboarding amidst the world's most awesome scenery. Within the protected wilderness of Banff National Park, you'll find three ski areas and two mountain towns alive with spirit and hospitality (Banff and Lake Louise) - all just 90 minutes from Calgary International Airport.

The 3 ski areas of Ski Norquay, Sunshine Village and Lake Louise Ski Resort feature more than 250 runs on over 7,700 acres of skiable terrain. Each has a unique character and the three are available on one convenient interchangeable lift ticket.

Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine has been renowned for it's annual abundance of light, dry Canadian Rockies powder. Our northern location and resort elevation gives us some of the most consistent and ample snowfall in all of western North America and one of the longest ski seasons in the west, from mid-November to late May.

From wide open bowls and tree lined glades covered with fresh, dry powder, to meticulous groomed slopes, visitors enjoy unspoiled scenery, short lift lines and friendly hospitality.

Another 3 resorts; Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, Panorama Resort and Nakiska are accessible as day trips. Jasper’s Marmot Basin is approx a 3hr drive north of Lake Louise on a highway, but driving conditions are winter weather dependent.
