Freshtracks holiday

Despite it's small size compared to Sunshine Village and Lake Louise it still manages to offer varied terrain.
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.

Unsettled conditions and snow continue to dominate the Coastal Ranges with plenty of cloud cover and snow, along with cool temperatures. Around 40cm will fall over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, easing up as the weekend begins.
Elsewhere, the BC Interior and Rockies will see cold, cloudy conditions with a few floccons down over the course of the week to keep things fresh.
Out East, a cold but otherwise fine and dry Christmas is in store for the region, with temperatures building as cloud cover moves in over the weekend.
The Ski Club office is closed on Friday 28 December – there will be no overviews published on this date, returning Tuesday 31 December. The Ski Club wishes you a Merry Christmas!
