In winter, skiers and snowboarders flock to Banff and Lake Louise to experience our world-class ski resorts: Mt. Norquay, The Lake Louise Ski Area and Sunshine Village.

Combined, these three resorts offer almost 8,000 acres of skiable terrain; dry, light snow; and one of the longest ski seasons in North America, from mid November to late May.

There is terrain for every level and desire, from gentle green groomers to some of the world’s most extreme in-bounds challenges.

You can rent downhill ski and snowboard equipment from several gear rental outlets in Banff and Lake Louise, as well as at the resorts. Many of these outlets also offer technician services for tuning and repairs.

Tri-area lift tickets are available, offering unlimited access to Mt. Norquay, Lake Louise Ski Area and Sunshine Village; night skiing at Mt. Norquay (January to March); and return shuttle transportation between many hotels and the resorts.

Ski Hill Transportation

Shuttle transportation is available between the ski resorts and many hotels in Banff and Lake Louise.

Shuttle bus service is included in the cost of tri-area lift tickets. For those without a tri-area lift ticket, bus fares are additional. Some Lake Louise hotels offer complimentary shuttle services to Lake Louise Ski Area.

Sunshine Village offers on-hill accommodations.
