Tips for success #SKIBIG3TRIFECTA
- Allocate one day at each ski resort during your ski vacation in Banff National Park.
- Join a SkiBig3 Guided Adventure – this 3-day program explores all three resorts and qualifies you automatically.
- Warm up your ski legs on your first day of arrival with a half day afternoon at Mt Norquay.
- Head up to Mt Norquay for an evening of night skiing! (Note, extra fees may apply).
- Ski at more than one resort on the same day (SkiBig3 Lift Ticket holders can ski up to three resorts in one day at no extra cost).
