It’s going to be a busy weekend, so you’d better get yourself set-up with the best goodies in town. Wildflour Bakery offers a delicious selection of baked goods, pastries, soups and sandwiches to help you fuel up for the slopes. For lunch, it’s safe to say that their focaccia breads rival the best pizza shops in town. We won’t judge you for grabbing a few “road” snacks for the next few days.

Historic Slopes
[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”35px”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]
The striking slopes of Mt Norquay are visible from nearly any street in Banff. It was here in 1926 that skiing truly began in The Canadian Rockies. (For a complete timeline of ski history in Banff National Park see here.) A quick drive up the beautiful Norquay access road will deliver you to the home of 74 marked runs and some of the steepest resort terrain in North America. Locals love Norquay for its beautifully groomed rollers that are just waiting to be carved.

Now that you’ve made some turns, it’s time for a little break. Head over to the North American Chair (known locally as “The Big Chair”) where your lift ticket will give you access Norquay’s Cliffhouse Bistro. Built as a teahouse in the 1950’s, The Cliffhouse Bistro now offers full-service dining with the best views of Banff. Once you’ve polished off your drink, (Try the new Norquay 90 – brewed exclusively by the Banff Ave Brew Co. for Norquay’s 90th Anniversary.) go for a stroll on the boardwalk before you make your way back to the base. (Don’t forget your camera for this stop!)

Night Skiing

Another offering that makes Mt Norquay unique is their Friday and Saturday evening night skiing and tubing. (Night skiing lifts run from 5-10pm, night tubing lifts from 5-9pm, Dec – Feb only) It’s hard to imagine that the views of Banff from Norquay could be even more striking, but just wait until sunset. If you’re all skied out for the day, grab a friend and hop in a tube (included in your lift ticket)!

Bear or Bison

It’s been a solid day on the slopes and we need to get you some food. Head back down to Banff and check out The Bear Street Tavern or The Bison. Although under the same ownership, both restaurants offer a very different vibe, while still maintaining their commitment to quality, well-sourced ingredients. The Tavern offers an amazing selection of signature pizzas ($15-19) with 8 local beers on tap. The Bison is a wee bit more snazzy, so be sure to check out the Braised Bison Short-Ribs ($39) or Venison striploin with cocoa chili rub ($46).

Still looking to tackle the town? Head on over to THE DANCING SASQUATCH and show your Big3 lift ticket to skip the line and cover before 10:30pm (Only on Friday).

The Canadian-inspired dining experience inside The Maple Leaf Grill will not disappoint.

Hop back onto the BVP for a quick little jaunt back to Banff. You’ve got a few minutes before you need to head back to Calgary, so make sure you hit up the Banff Tea Co. They’ve got your usual spread of tea with the added bonus of some exclusive blends. Try Black Bear for an amazing fruit-filled black tea or Sweet Dreams of Banff for a nice pre-snooze blend.
