MLK Weekend in Banff: Fewer Crowds, Great Snow

Whether you’re carving fresh tracks through Banff Sunshine’s powder bowls, cruising Lake Louise’s wide-open groomers, or testing your skills on Mt. Norquay’s steep runs, SkiBig3 delivers an experience unlike any other. With reliable snowfall, one of the longest ski seasons in North America, and breathtaking mountain views at every turn, skiing in Banff and Lake Louise is pure winter magic.

Even better - there are no blackout dates for Mountain Collective or Ikon Pass (Full) holders, and since it’s not a holiday period in Canada, you’ll enjoy fewer crowds and more time on the slopes. From first chair to après-ski, every day here promises adventure, beauty, and the true spirit of the Canadian Rockies.
