Skiing and Snowboarding: The Perfect Place and Perfect Conditions

Skiing and Snowboarding, the perfect conditions and the perfect place.

While Ontario has experienced an unsusual warm winter with hardly any snowfall, that is not the case everywhere in Canada. The Canadian Rockies have received lots of snow, close to 6 feet by the first of the year. More is expected to come.

The Old Farmers Almanac predicts the heaviest snowfall to come in January and February. Therefore the Rockies are expected to offer the best ski experience in Canada.

According to Dan Markham, Director of Marketing & Sales at Ski Banff Lake Louise Sunshine, the "Banff and Lake Louise" ski experience is the most treasured in Canada." With their tri-area ski pass you can move from one mountain resort to the other.

It puts you in the middle of Canada's first National park, where you can enjoy dramatic natural beauty and light, dry champagne powder snow. Perfect for skiing and snowboarding.

A ski vacation in Banff National Park will give you the opportunity to visit 3 ski areas for just one ticket.

1 - Ski Norquat, in business since 1926. Mt. Norquay offers a wide variety of terrain to suit everyone.

2 - Lake Louise - As Canada's largest single ski area, Lake Louise offers four mountain faces, 4200 ski-able acres, 113 named trails and a 6-person Gondola.

3 - Sunshine Village - With the world's fastest gondola, over 3,300 acres of terrain and 12 lifts on three mountains and an average annual snowfall of over 30 feet the 'Shine' is a must ski.

Banff National Park is also home to the Lake Louise World Cup.
