"Banff, the closest place to Ca ..." a Banff Travel Page by ptitetoile

During my first weekend in Calgary...I went to go skiing and the closest and easiest ski resort was Banff...
I took the greyhound bus to Banff at 7.15 am (52$)
Then the shuttle bus to Norquay area (13$)
There I rented skis and boots (32 $) and bought a full-day pass (56 $).
There are nice blue slopes on the right of the area and there a not a lot of people, I really enjoyed it...
but it was quite cold -10C...and even less with the speed. The area is exposed to the sun in the morning but in the afternoon, as the sun moves, the shade invades the area and it is colder.

Wooden house

The wooden house is great to have lunch and a coffee to warm up...The atmosphere is great with a singer singing country music songs.
