As host resort for the ski racing programme during the 1988 Calgary Olympics, Nakiska gained worldwide notoriety and it was constructed out of nothing specifically to host the huge event.

The Downhill was won by the legendary Pirmin Zurbriggen of Switzerland and Alberto Tomba took gold in both the GS and Slalom. Parts of the track are still in use today as a high performance training centre for the Canadian team, but don’t be put off if you’re a hardcore racer – much of the terrain is pretty mellow and well-groomed, rolling pistes are the order of the day. That being said, the Monster Glades are popular after fresh snow and there are some good blacks off the summit.

Reflecting the resort’s place as a weekend or daytrip destination, there’s no accommodation on the hill and you’ll need to stay down the valley. A good plan is to perhaps stop off here for a day of skiing on the way inland to Banff.

Snow Overview

Canada

Updated 02/05

A generally mild weekend and new week for resorts west of the Great Plans is punctuated by a burst of cold weather and snowfall to open the weekend, moving east over the course of the forecast period. Sun will dominate as barometric pressure rises over the course of the new week.

Resorts over the St Lawrence are now closed.

Thus concludes our snow overviews for the 2024/25 season; thank you to everyone who has tuned in, and we look forward to seeing you again next season!
