Banff, Canada
March 9 - 16, 2008
|
| Great Skiing for Spring Break: The world famous
dry powder of the Canadian Rockies provides one of the longest, most
consistent ski seasons in the world. Banff National Park has three ski
areas: Sunshine Village, Lake Louise and Ski Banff @ Norquay. Together,
they offer more than 240 runs on over 7,700 acres of skiable terrain and
are available on one convenient, interchangeable lift ticket, which
includes frequent free shuttle transportation |
|
| Sunshine Village is located just 15 minutes from the town of Banff.
It offers 3,300 acres of stunning alpine terrain. Lift lines are never
an issue at Sunshine Village as there are 12 different lifts including
seven modern quad chairs - the most in the Rockies. Looks great for
March! |
 |
|
| Lake Louise is Canada’s largest ski area and is rated as the #3 ski
resort in North America for scenery. The views are truly spectacular.
Located just 45 minutes from Banff, Lake Louise offers over 4,200 acres
of terrain. Uniquely, Lake Louise has green, blue and black runs down
from every chair making it easy for groups of varying abilities to ski
or ride together.Here is what it looked like last March at the same
time. |
 |
|
| Ski Banff @ Norquay is just minutes from downtown Banff and is the
best-kept secret in the Rockies. As the smallest of the Banff-Lake
Louise-Sunshine resorts, and as Banff's "local's" mountain, the resort
has a friendly and intimate atmosphere. |

|
 |
Town of Banff: Banff’s cozy, rustic streets are
lined with small shops and cafés. The town’s many restaurants and pubs
offer a variety of menus and themes. Shoppers find souvenirs that are
often handmade and traditional to the Canadian Rockies; as well as
fashions, sportswear, ski equipment and even furniture. |
|
| Convenient Accommodations: In
the heart of Banff, just two minutes walk from downtown; the Banff
Ptarmigan Inn is the perfect headquarters for those who love to ski.
Natural wood accents add a warm glow to this hotel’s interior design.
The last night will be at a hotel near the Calgary Airport. |
 |
|
| Transportation: You arrive in Calgary at 1:04 PM.
With only a 1.5-hour bus ride to Banff, you will have lots of time to start
exploring the town. The bus will take you to Calgary on Saturday evening so
you will be close to the airport for your early departure home. The return
flight gets you to Austin in the mid afternoon. |
Skip the Spring Ice and Mush.
Go to Banff!
