Canada simply provides a luxury winter haven for everyone from beginners to experienced skiers and Banff boasts some of the most fantastic slopes.  Other popular snow sports include snowmobiling, dog sledding and torch light descent.  Canada’s ski season will run from the beginning of December to the end of April, however, there are a number of ski resorts that will stay open all year providing other activities in warmer months.

Ski breaks in Banff see long winter ski seasons and the snow is powdery and perfect for snow sports. There are spectacular views of Banff National Park and the Rocky Mountains.  

The three main ski areas in Canada are known as; Sunshine, Norquay and Lake Louise and each one is connected through excellent services such as shuttle buses. All ski resorts in Canada, such as Banff, offer a variety of ski slopes that suite experienced and beginner skiers and torchlight decent at night is available at Lake Louise.
