Lake Louise ski resort is perhaps the best known ski area around Banff as it has hosted many World Cups.
And hour and a half from Banff and you're in powder heaven with ultra modern facilities and pistes for every level of ability.
One of the Big Three ski resorts in and around Banff, Sunshine Village offers mega snow and dry Canadian powder, legendary for its texture and something so rare in a warming European climate.
The Big Three, including Sunshine Village can be found on:
