The Details

Cash Price: $2049 per person based on double occupancy in a standard hotel room

Join Gus and I for an adventurous Canadian Rockies Ski Vacation in Banff, Alberta Canada. Passports are required and must be valid for 6 months after scheduled return date.

Located in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there is no better place to experience Skiing, Snowboarding or just enjoying the beautiful mountain vistas. You may even find ELK walking the streets in Banff checking out their options. Not an uncommon sight.

Canada also has an inadmissible statute if you have a DUI on your criminal record within the past several years.

Over 7700 acres across Ski Big 3, 2 gondolas, 26 chair lifts and 357 runs, longest is 5 miles, there is plenty of terrain for everyone. Ski and Snowboard at any one of the Ski Big 3 Resorts, to include Mt. Norquay, Banff Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise. They have just become the official destination for PROSECCO POWDER, with daily tasting events. All are easily accessible from your accommodations at the Banff Park Lodge just off Main Street in Banff. Lake Louise is the largest of the Big 3 and offers at least one green run serving every lift. Mt. Norquay is the smallest, and the best kept secret in Banff and offers Night Skiing for those who just need more time on the mountain that daylight doesn’t offer.
