Banff/LakeLouise/Sunshine Comments: Boasting 100% soft, natural
snow, Sunshine Village is renowned for it's lengthy ski season from
mid-November until late May. Located just a 15 minute drive from the
world-class resort town of Banff, skiers & riders can hop aboard
a new high-speed 8 passenger gondola and arrive to over 3,300 acres
of stunning alpine terrain in under 13 minutes. Located at the top
of the Continental Divide, the majority of the terrain at Sunshine
Village is above 7,000 feet, far above the hustle & bustle of
the valley below. Lift lineups are never an issue at Sunshine Village
as the resort features 12 different lifts including seven modern quad
chairs - the most in the Rockies. New this year, Sunshine has replaced
Standish double chair with a quad chairlift and will add more advanced
terrain on Goat's Eye mountain.

ski area, Lake Louise offers skiers and boarders unlimited possibilities.
With four mountain faces, 4200 skiable acres, 113 named trails and
5 quad chairs, 'the Lake' is hard to beat. Lake Louise has it all,
from gentle, perfectly groomed beginner runs to double black diamonds
rated "the best super steeps in the country" (Ski Canada
Magazine). Uniquely, there are green, blue and black runs down from
every chair which allow beginners as well as intermediates and experts
to enjoy the whole immense Louise experience.With abundant natural
snow, backed up by Canada's largest snowmaking system, Louise guarantees
skiing from early November to mid May. The Lake's huge, wide open
bowls which lay claim to some of the driest, lightest snow, are home
to the Canadian Powder 8 Championships. Lake Louise enjoys the honour
of prestigous Gold Medals from Ski Magazine in Scenery, Terrain, Challenge
and Value. Enjoy stunning panoramas from one of four spacious on-mountain
lodges.

Ski Banff
@ Norquay
P.O. Box 1520, Banff, Alberta, Canada, T1L 1B4
Tel: (403) 762-4421 • Fax: (403) 762-8133
E-Mail: info@banffnorquay.com • Website: www.banffnorquay.com
From
their website: Banff Mount Norquay's long-standing
reputation for challenge is based on the first runs you see upon approaching
the area: a quintet of super-steep, mogul-studded freefalls served
by the original Norquay double chair. For hardcore Norquay regulars,
no runs anywhere can match Upper Lone Pine and Gun Run, a dynamite
black-diamond duo as demanding as any trails in the Rockies. Memorial
Bowl isn't a bowl at all but a generous, consistent swath with an
average 34-degree pitch that rarely feels the blade of a snowcat.
Even the North American, the easiest of these runs, legitimately earns
its black diamond. Three more chairs climb up stepped-back parallel
ridges and serve the area's beginner & intermediate runs. Anyone
who continues to the lower parking lot, come upon the main base area,
the welcome gateway to this more friendly terrain. In addition to
a small, sheltered beginner slope, you'll find the Cascade Quad chair
which services most of the beginner terrain and provides access to
Spirit quad chair and to the long Pathfinder Express quad. Because
the terrain lies deep in a valley under some very steep summits, it
has a really rugged and interesting feeling. It also provides some
of the most weather sheltered terrain in the area.
