    • Banff Ski Mount Norquay

    • Theme: Skiing/Snowboarding

    There are 3 ski resorts in Banff National Park, one of which is located right next to the Town of Banff - Mount Norquay. It is the only Rockie Mountain hill in Alberta that offers night skiing. Mere minutes away by car, there is even talk of building a gondola from the town itself (thereby eliminating the road and the parking lot, which cuts through a major wildlife migratory corridor). This picture shows the town and Cascade Mountain, with a little bit of Mount Norquay.

    For info on the other two resorts in Banff, go to my Banff National Park page.

    Equipment: Rentals available on the hill, in town, or in nearby Canmore.
