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.

good, steady, consistent snowfall hits the Coastals for probably the first time this season, with a foot falling over Tuesday and Wednesday, peaking on Wednesday evening before starting again on Thursday. After a brief pause towards the end of this week, snowfall returns over the weekend with another 15cm expected down. Temperatures will remain cold staying well below freezing throughout this period.
Similarly cold temperatures will be in play in the BC Interior, however things will remain mostly dry throughout this period. Things turn really cold over the Rockies, with steady snowfall over Thursday and Friday to bring around 20cm to the region.
Mild temperatures over the St Lawrence will drop considerably over Wednesday and into Thursday, however not before precipitation has had a chance to fall as rain. Cold temperatures then bring snowfall into the weekend helping to top things up heading deeper into spring.
