     |  | 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! |
