In this video, I share our 1 week ski trip to Banff. There are some of my favourite family skiing memories of the whole season. We went in April and experienced a mix of both winter and spring skiing conditions.
If you are skiing Banff, I highly recommend doing it with SkiBig3. They provide 1 pass that provides you access to 3 resorts. Mt. Norquay, Lake Louise Ski Resort and Sunshine Village make up the big three.
Check out Ski Big 3 for more details:

We have skied all over Western Canada and I can say with confidence that spring skiing in Banff is my favourite. We absolutely love coming here this time of year. The days are longer and the kids legs are stronger making it the perfect recipe for exploring new resorts and lots of terrain.
If you have any questions about skiing in Banff - be sure to leave a comment.

Loved touring Banff with you, it was beautiful. Loved the family pictures, especially the one on the Sunshine sign. My favorite part was watching Adia crash, her laugh is infectious and I loved, "I didn't lose my poles." Thanks for taking us along but I really need to plant my garden so I'm ready for the snow to go until next year..

What an AWESOME family vacation reminds me so much of my childhood!. All the kids are really skiing great this year. Adia's footwork,.turns and confidence are so GREAT! I love how Luca is really going after it this year and not only challenging himself on those bigger steeper runs but seeing that he can accomplish them. August, if you are not a sponsored pro skier by the age of 14 I would be utterly shocked. Your skiing this year is off the charts bud great job! Stay safe and have fun! 🤙

SO cool to see Luca working his way down some pretty big slopes with fresh snow without sticks; when kids are as proficient on skis as he is it's so good to have them figure out balance without rescue sticks, he's going to be so loose and fluid 10 years from now when he's dropping cliffs that are going to scare the #@*& out of you dad. 🤐

We did a day at Louise 2 weeks after Fernie closed, and that's the end of the season for us! We really did enjoy the feel of the resort. Perhaps we'll do Sunshine again next year!! One of the first places we skied the west. Norquay was first. Ps. I do like Norquay's cafeteria. How were the falafel wraps? Looked like you had the resort to yourselves. Gotta love spring laps.

If you can afford it - Sunshine Mountain Lodge is an incredible mountain immersive experience with a great beginner/learning area just outside the hotel.

Norquay gets my vote for best resort in Banff. It's consistently steep and most trails run top to bottom so has longer runs than the other two even though on paper it's a shorter mountain. Sunshine is misleading, if you leave out the ski out trail and Goat's Eye Mountain you only have access to half the stated vertical and it's a small, crowded mountain and the line for the only access to it stretches forever in the am. Lake Loise is better but you spend all day slaloming around the posers and cork sniffers standing all over the mountain.

Haha love your assessment. Our mid-week trips in April have hands down made me fall in love with Sunshine. The elevation keeps the snow nicer, there were zero crowd and we have had fresh powder both trips. The dive is pretty fun to explore and the many parks are awesome no matter where you are skills wise. We have never been to Norquay when all the chairs were open and it was peak conditions! Night skiing with a park that close to Banff would be an awesome time. If one can afford it, staying up at Sunshine is an incredible ski in/ski out experience. When the lifts stop spinning, it’s quiet and pretty surreal up there. Honestly, I think anyone visiting should try the ski big 3 card and visit all of them. They all have something to offer. I appreciate your take. Thanks for commenting. 👊

@roywarriner8441 8 ай бұрын

@@ThatMountainLife I admit I haven't been to Sunshine in about 12 years, it looks like they have opened up more terrain on Goat's Eye. I was there a weekday in Feb. and the line for the gondola was an hour long before they even started loading. Not even a pow day. It does stay open latest in the spring though. I always got the Big3 pass but split my days between Lake Louise and Norquay. Those long steeps at Norquay are my favorite runs in Banff. Lake Louise is huge and the mountains are accessible, lots of lifts from the base. Sunshine has just that one choke point. Marmot Basin in Jasper is a nice resort and recently expanded, I haven't been there since but I think they have opened up more expert terrain along the lines of Delirium Dive. Cheers.

I wish you could bring your family to Vail for a trip ! I am lucky enough to teach kids snowboarding at the LionsHead Village. I am older but, I believe I have a good track record of teaching a quicker system. One of my 4.5 year old students 19 years ago went from never ever to level 5 in 3 days of lessons. He, Blake Moller was the #1 rider in the FreeRide World Cup Tour in 2022 at 22 years of age. What do you think ? Thanks, Mark
