Norquay and Banff Sunshine. At legendary Lake Louise, there are four mountains and over 1,600 hectares of terrain and plenty of powder. The new Lake Louise Ski Resort Summit Chair brings skiers to the peak of Whitehorn Mountain in just four minutes, where exhilarating runs await. On the new West Bowl, intermediate to expert skiers can follow endless routes and fall lines through powder bowls and glades. At Mt. Norquay, an upgraded snowmaking system generates 30 percent more powder, while Banff Sunshine, the third in the Big 3, features more than 1,300 hectares of skiable terrain, ranging from gentle beginner all the way up to extreme big mountain runs. Beyond the natural beauty and world-class skiing, Banff and Lake Louise provide ample winter adventure just a two-hour scenic transfer from Calgary, including: • Team Spirit: Build corporate culture in the most Canadian of ways: play a friendly game of hockey on a frozen lake. • Adventure: Explore a glistening canyon on the Johnston Canyon Ice Walk, snowshoe fresh powder on a guided snowshoe safari and spot wildlife in their natural habitat. • Say “Spahhh”: Indulge in some well-earned self-care at one of the many spas or wellness providers found throughout Banff and Lake Louise. • Fondue Heaven: There’s no better place to sample fondue than surrounded by mountains—just one of the indulgent culinary experiences you can have here.
