I live in Banff so this is our local hill. Close to town. I love Norquay. Great groomers and bumps. Its small but packs in a big punch. Steep and icy at the top just for a couple turns and then awesome. Cant beat the big chair when it snows. Its steep and deep and fantastic fall line. Lodge is great, also has tubing for family fun. Staff is great, lift lines are quick. Love Norquay!!

Very family friendly and local resort often over looked with neighbors like Lake Louise and Sunshine. Great travel time from Banff. Lots of steep terrain to push your boundaries. Great learner areas and amazing ski school. Arguably one of the best ski schools. Pioneers with the new PSIC organization. Give them a shot on your next vacation.

Norquay is close to Banff where there are plenty of accomodations and night life. I would classify it as a ski trip destination, but if in the area is worth spending a day there.

Great local resort for Banff. If your looking for a world class ski destination. Head down the road to Sunshine or Lake Louise. If your looking to stay in Banff and get some turns in, come here. Great place for warm up or cool down days, family ski days, people new to snow sports. Great mountain views and the proximity to Banff make this an excellent option.

A skiers mountain with fun, steep runs, a casual chalet feel. Very close to the town of Banff for lots of accommodations and restaurants. Convenient shuttle bus service from several stops in town.

Mt Norquay is the perfect resort to get some good runs in on a powder day at Banff. Whilst not being the biggest resort, Norquay offers some of the best powder and some awesome runs, ranging from greens to blacks. They also have the best views in Banff, looking down over the town and across to Mount Rundle!

I love how quiet this resort is. Norquay doesn't have any alpine terrain but the designated expert terrain zone and night skiing make this a fantastic destination for locals looking for quick laps without line ups. Moguls moguls moguls! So many moguls here as there is a large number of ungroomed terrain littered around the mountain that also make for amazing pow runs when the snow hits with little traffic to fight with. The mountain is quite small and doesn't reach alpine terrain though so there is much to be desired for big mountain terrain but as an easy coast skier, this place feels like a nice slice of home with a lot more snow. With night skiing being an option here and most of the lighting in their small park zone, this is a great spot for after work/school park laps with plenty of spectators from the lift. Small mountain though so not much for massive feature or variety but you'll be able to clear lap after lap with small lift lines. There is little to no slack country here as they have heavily marked borders and no access to alpine zones. I'm sure there are some hidden gems here but they must be quite difficult to find or require ducking a rope to get to. Groomers are actually great despite the small mountain thanks to the clear seperation between runs and little cross over with other difficulties meaning you can have a great top to bottom run without having to people dodge. Unfortunately there are not very many groomed runs as they favor moguls but there is much to enjoy on the groomers they do have.

Has enough tracks and not overly busy Mon thru Fri allowing a full days ski in a few hours. Still reasonably priced. Great views and just outside Banff townsite. 'Our little secret !
