This is a great mountain to try if you want to advance your technique and looking for a no fuss day of skiing. Its a smaller mountain compared to nearby mountains like sunshine or lake Louis. Family friendly. Great ski school. Lots of moguls.

Overall it was a very nice ski hill! It was a bit of a ski-elitist place but we had a good time regardless! The moguls were very iced out unfortunately but the runs were nice and long and they had a good amount of options!

The hill has absolutely beautiful views that made it worth every penny and a life lodge with lots of food options, food was pricey. Trustworthy people. Buy lift tickets online in advance for cheapest, ski rentals are more then they say online. For two people it was $150 for rentals. Went the full day and overall good experience, nice staff.

Went early season for my partners birthday, so it was super quiet which was great! We stayed in Banff, which is of course absolutely beautiful, and there's free shuttles to get you to the mountain which was ideal.

Smaller compared to other resorts in the Rockies, not worth the price in my opinion drive an extra 30 minutes and go to a better resort. Snow is usually not the best. Definitely some nice runs but not many older days.

Love the chill vibe of the mighty Quay. Have skied there since I was 2. The snow Gods have not been kind this year yet you have made the best of what has fallen.Groomers were great, little mogul fields were fun and not enough snow sadly to play in the trees :(.We always hope for more snow and I will always support my home hill.

Ive been there 2 times now and its always been an amazing time with amazing views. Runs have been kelts very nice and groomed for runs that are groomed. Does have access to very difficult runs for more advanced skiers. When I was there the lift lines were not very long and staff was very efficient to make sure the lines were moving to get enough skiing in!

Norquay is a small but mighty hill, the lessons and instructors coming out is top notch and so affordable. You are really cared for at Norquay and the community there with the night skiing makes it always such a vibe to be there. Plus the tube park is an absolute thrill!! Would 10/10 recommend xx

Norquay is a great hill for those of an intermediate to advanced level visiting Banff however for experts who are comfortable with with double blacks and advanced terrain it may leave something to be desired. Perfect for families as it is close to town and has a lower cost than nearby resorts.

The runs here are more difficult than some at Marmot and as a beginner, at the time, I felt intimidated. I was working hard to get out of my snow plow tendencies so I worked on the small hills and even the bunny hill shifting my weight and feeling my edges. It was a true bluebird day and its lodged in my memory as one of the most beautiful days Ive ever been on a ski hill. My sister went to ski with my son who was 12 at the time- he lived the more advanced runs. The face of Norquay is something to behold for sure. One day

A smaller resort with lots of wide groomed runs and family friendly smaller runs. But don't be fooled, this is a sneaky good resort on a pow day if you know where to look. Easily accessible from banff makes hotels and rides easy to figure out.

Norquay is the last resort you should go to if you fine yourself near Banff or Lake Louise. While it does have good tree runs, so does sunshine village or lake Louise, so choose one of those. Norquay is not very beginner friendly as it only had one short carpet area. It has a very cozy lodge though, so lunch times should be dragged out.

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.
