Lake Louise Ski Resort is starting the 26/27 winter season on a high note, earning two major accolades that recognize its place among the world's leading ski destinations.

The skiers have spoken! For the first time, Banff Sunshine Village has been named the No. 1 Ski Resort in the West in SKI Magazine's 2027 Reader Resort Survey, climbing from third place in 2025 to second in 2026, and now taking the top spot. The annual rankings are determined by skiers and snowboarders who vote on their experiences across North American resorts, making this recognition especially meaningful.

Mt. Norquay officially opened for the 26/27 winter season on November 6th 2026, welcoming skiers and snowboarders back to its slopes for another winter. Locals and visitors made their way up to the resort for a 9:30 am opening, enjoying the first turns down Cascade and taking in the familiar sights of the long-awaited ski season returning to Banff.
