The countdown is officially on to the 2013-14 ski season. Here at Ski Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine we can’t help but embrace our tingling snow senses as we look skywards, anticipating the imminent first powder drop of the season.

Mt. Norquay
 
Events at Mt. Norquay this seasoninclude hosting the Alberta Winter Games, Rail Jams and the return of the hugely successful chair lift speed dating, Lifts of Love, in addition to the ever popular and only night skiing in Banff-Lake Louise.
 
Mt. Norquay Anticipated Opening: November 29th 2013 – April 21st 2014
 
Lake Louise Ski Resort
 
The giant of Canadian skiing continues its dominance as an outstanding ski resort. Professional skiers and snowboarders will return to the Lake Louise Ski Resort as it once again plays host to the  FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup this season.
 
A considerable amount of resources have been invested to improve the on and off-mountain experience for boarders, including new fan guns and grooming machines. 
 
A Lake Louise App will make it easier for riders to navigate around the four mountain faces, link up with friends on the slopes and receive info on deals and events as they are announced. This sits alongside enhanced snow reporting for the resort and a new website.
 
This season will also see a revamp of the hugely popular Torchlight Parade. Boarders can watch one of the most iconic sunsets in the world from atop the Lake Louise Ski Resort, while enjoying après and live music before riding down to the base via torchlight to continue the party with dinner and dancing. The First Tracks program returns for those who want exclusive lift access half an hour before the resort opens to the public, with two or three hours of professional instruction. Plus the bag jump will be more frequently available in the Showtime Terrain Park.
 
All of this in addition to four mountain faces of unbelievable terrain, awe-inspiring panoramic views and green and blue runs from every chair. 
 
Lake Louise Ski Resort Anticipated Opening: November 8th 2013 - May 5th 2014
 
Sunshine Village
 
 
Spring skiing continues right until May 19th and the return of the popular Spring Concert Series, complete with live music makes spring skiing at Sunshine Village one of the best ways to celebrate everything that makes winter in Banff-Lake Louise incredible.
 
Sunshine Village Anticipated Opening: November 8th 2013 – May 19th 2014

Lake Louise

Lake Louise

Excellent freeriding on four mountain faces, slap bang in the heart of the Canadian Rockies giving a sense of true remoteness. Nightlife here is limited, however Banff (population 8000) is located a 45 minute drive away and provides a livelier after hill scene. A 'Tri-Area Lift Ticket' lift pass gives you access and free transport to the trio of 3 ski areas in the Rockies - Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Mount Norquay. The first two complement one another well in their own individual ways and
