Banff
The spectacular Banff area has been protected by making it a National Park and in this genuinely unspoilt ski resort, wild elk still wander into Banff occasionally while bighorn sheep and the occasional moose can be seen in the foothills of the ski area.
The closest ski area to Banff of the three covered by the one pass, Norquay/Mystic Ridge is considered to be Banff's 'local hill'. The skiing is fairly limited and best suited to intermediates. Norquay/Mystic Ridge makes a good first day venue - it's somewhere to regain your snow legs before venturing to Sunshine Village and Lake Louise. The scenery is stunning, as is the on-piste convenience. As with all three resorts, you can have a free guide to show you around and this makes for a great addition to your first day back in the saddle. There are a few challenging pistes to push more advanced skiers, but once these are conquered you may well want to head for the more extreme challenges of Lake Louise.
