Farmers’ Almanac Predicts a Snowy Ski Season
While long-term forecasts can't always predict the future, we love the early buzz in the countdown to opening day. The Farmers’ Almanac forecast is calling for cold temperatures and plenty of snow across the Canadian Rockies. That means this is the season to plan your ski holiday to Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay, all of which are known for their reliable early openings and long seasons that stretch into May. More snow means more powder days, more terrain opening sooner, and more value from your trip.
