Banff National Park #1 by TripAdvisor!

May 10th, 2010: BANFF-LAKE LOUISE, Alberta, Canada

Banff National Park has been ranked the top Outdoor & Adventure Destination in Canada by TripAdvisor in the annual TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Best Destinations Awards!

Banff National Park also received fourth place in the Top 10 Outdoor & Adventure Destinations in the world, in the awards announced on Thursday (6 May, 2010).

With even more snowfall continuing though May, it’s easy to see why Banff National Park’s three ski resorts are world famous for winter outdoor adventure! Mt. Norquay, The Lake Louise Ski Area and Sunshine Village offer almost 8,000 acres of skiable terrain in the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage Site – a uniquely beautiful winter vacation destination.

“We want to thank everyone who rated Banff National Park on TripAdvisor,” said Dan Markham, of Ski Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine. “It’s a honour to know that the world’s largest travel community loves Canada’s Protected Playground, Banff National Park, as much as we do!”

There’s still two weeks of skiing and riding to go, with the ski season scheduled to finish on May 24! Ski Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine is already helping guests plan their 2010-11 trip to Banff-Lake Louise, over the phone on 1-866-549-0807, and at www.SkiBig3.com.
