Excellent POW and huge terrain to enjoy it. I got lucky to snowboard in 40 cm of fresh pow. Lifts were fast and plenty. It is a long drive from BC though, especially if you are in the lower mainland. ... More

Huge resort. Lots of really fun hike in back country runs on the backside. You would need a few days to fully explore this whole resort. Great for all levels although more options for intermediate to advanced.... More

On its day, with new snow, the lake is hard to beat. Its a bit further from Banff, so expect a longer drive or bus ride, but once there, you can be rewarded on a great day.

I haven't skied Norquay or Sunshine (I've heard Sunshine is a challenge) but Lake Louise ski area is great. Then the main street in Banff has a lot to offer as well and the food is great.

The RimRock Hotel and Spa is absolutely gorgeous, they offer fabulous amenities and everyone is exceptionally helpful and accommodating. It is such a lovely place, that I would consider going there by myself to ski, shop and dine. I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experiences have been at Banff.
