There's basically three ski areas nearby. Mt Norquay, Lake Louise and Sunshine. You renting a car, or using the buses? |

Which ski areas would you reccomend (1 very good intermediate, 1 low level intermediate) Night life is pretty good in Banff proper, lots to choose from in terms of restaurants and pubs. Buses are excellent, actually, they have preference for loading/unloading everywhere, including the hills. I would suggest you stick to Lake Louise (about 45 min from Banff) or Sunshine (about 20 min from Banff) Unless you are an expert skier, I would tend to shy away from Mt Norquay. You can look all three up on the net and see the two I mentioned have hepas of great intermediate runs. Hope this helps. Native to the Area....
