Skiing: There are 3 areas you can reach from Banff - Sunshine Village,
Lake Louise and Norquay, but I can only comment about the first two as
we never visited the third - it is a smaller area and probably it's only
advantage is that it is closer to the town of Banff so a shorter
transfer. No doorstep skiing here unfortunately - you catch the ski bus
and you have anythig from 20 mins (Norquay) to an hour or more (Lake
Louise) . That is unless you go the whole hog and stay up at Sunshine
Village, in which case you are residing on the slopes - you will
literally ski back to your hotel - the down side is that if you want to
go anywhere else like Banff town itself you have to catch a gondola down
and then have a 30-45 min transfer to the action - and the reverse trip
to get back to your bed! |
