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.

High pressure dominates over the weekend and into the new week over the Coastal Ranges and BC Interior. This will bring with it plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions, with sun dominating and little in the way of precipitation. More cloud over the Rockies will be met with similarly dry conditions, albeit with a few flurries of snow over the weekend.
Passing snowfall over the St Lawrence dries up as the weekend arrives, where things remain otherwise bitterly cold.
