SkiBig3 has kicked off the 2019/20 ski and snowboard season with a bang! Just in time for the holiday season, we’re seeing the snowfall build up from the streets of Banff and Lake Louise all the way up to the mountaintops of Banff Sunshine Village, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay, giving an extra Christmas-y feel for all to enjoy.

So far, our predictions for a super snowy SkiBig3 season have rung true. With consistent snowfall since October, some resorts opening a week early than anticipated, and powder days on the weekly, locals and visitors alike have been enjoying mid-season conditions before we even hit December. And with more and more terrain and lifts opening every day and ALL SkiBig3 resorts already operating 100% of their chair lifts, you’re guaranteed to have a great time at Banff Sunshine Village, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay this winter.

Not sure just how good it really is out here? Check out our round up of FIFTY early season powder days from the SkiBig3 resorts – all taken in November and December of 2019
