Join your friends from NW Ski Club Council, NWSCC, and Far West Ski Association FWSA, on an epic adventure to Banff, AB, Canada next year! This is an IKON PASS destination resort.
SkiBig3 is Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise & Mt. Norquay. These 3 resorts boast almost 8,000 acres of skiing, 2 gondolas, 26 chairlifts and an annual snowfall tally upwards of 30 feet of feather-light powder snow. Lift lines here are reasonably short, and the skiing is excellent!
This is a Canadian trip, so don't forget your passport. Remember too, your dollars go farther here! Banff is a hugely popular ski town with many affordable bars and restaurants, along with some high-level options if you're inclined. Drinking age in Banff is 18years, so don't think you are feeling old. There are ski/board and equipment rentals available in town, as well as a large assortment of retail stores for anything you may have missed packing or feel the need to browse.
Theme for the week is Denim and Diamonds--you can dress up for Council Challenge Costume race and the banquet dinner dance if you want!
