💡 Local insights
- ·Skiing on three sides of one mountain — front face for cruisers, back bowls for powder, larch glades for trees.
- ·Coldest temperatures of any major resort — bring a balaclava in January, -25°C is normal.
- ·Summer: turquoise lake reflects Victoria Glacier — show up at sunrise to beat the tour buses.
- ·Buy the Banff/Lake Louise SkiBig3 pass for access to Sunshine + Norquay too — three resorts, one ticket.
