Snowy March has arrived at SkiBig3

Did you know that March and April are historically the snowiest months in the Canadian Rockies? March 2024 is no exception. A full week of storms has brought deep snow accumulations right across Banff National Park.

 

With a bounty that makes powder hounds swoon, Banff Sunshine Village, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay have been blessed with upwards of 84 cm (32 inches) of soft Canadian Rockies powder over the past seven days.
