Featuring great runs for beginners and families the resort remains a historic destination for alpine ski racing. The slopes overlook the town of Banff and can be the place to go on a powder day when others flock to the bigger ski areas instead. Famously big bumps can be found off the North American chair and this is also a good place for early season skiing – with 85% snowmaking coverage across the area’s 60 marked trails.
The resort is only a few minutes drive from Banff itself, one of the liveliest and best ski towns in North America. There’s a big seasonnaire crowd and numerous bars and restaurants (be sure to check out the various Happy Hour offers), making this a seriously fun resort after dark. Add to this the easy access to the other two ski areas outside of Banff, the spectacular scenery and the easy access from Calgary (the transfer takes around 2 hours), and it is clear why Banff is such a popular destination.

Cool-to-cold conditions dominate most regions to the left of the Great Plains, with plenty of sunshine thanks to high pressure bringing fine, dry and bright weather for many. Highs of -8°C remain pretty steadily in play for the BC interior during this time, with a few centimetres of snow to freshen things up at Banff and Whistler on Thursday.
Over the St Lawrence, a bitterly cold week turns just “cold”, with daytime highs rising from -17°C on Tuesday to -9°C on Saturday – wrap up warm! Snow is coming throughout this week, however, with around 10cm expected down before Saturday evening.
