Ski Resorts

Brimming with majestic mountain views, crisp air and reliable powder, the Canadian Rockies offer some of North America’s most impressive ski resorts. With day passes around the CDN$100 mark, none are cheap. In return you get uncrowded slopes that are decidedly empty outside weekends and holidays for most of the season (mid-December to late-May).

March is a prime time to visit as the snow base is reliably deep, fresh snow common and temperatures a little milder.

Banff

The resorts of Banff National Park, within easy reach of the town of Banff, offer the best overall experience: the steep and taxing Mount Norquay; the well-rounded but intermediate-friendly, Banff Sunshine and the vast, varied and hugely challenging Lake Louise. All three promote themselves with a common lift-ticket system, and visitors can enjoy Banff's extensive infrastructure and off-season lodging prices.
