Thanks!

I have my SENIORS SEASON PASS and was out January 28th. Not much natural snow. February 26 was much improved. Snow report says 8 cm new with another 8 cm forecast. Cold spell is over and some great skiing before true Spring skiing is here.


This trip is intended for all levels of skiers, boarders and CARPOOLERS. We'll do our own thing in small groups and meet at the end of the day, and possibly for lunch.

  • Carpool location is flexible. Please arrive at least 5 minutes early at the carpool as we will be leaving promptly. And please phone me or indicate in the 'Notes' section when registering, at which carpool location you'll be meeting us. We may agree on a different carpool location if there is just 2 or 3 attending.
  • There are microwaves and a boiling hot water spigot for complimentary use.
    Please note that skiing/snowboarding activities have inherent risks involved, and that rental packages now include helmets. Check to find the terrain most suitable for you: https://banffnorquay.com/winter- 2/conditions/

    If you would like to drive: please indicate what type of vehicle you plan to drive, whether or not it is equipped with snow tires, and how many people and gear (INCLUDING yourself) you can take. Should this information change prior to the trip, please advise the coordinator accordingly. Thanks!
