Caption: | IN 3 DAYS | BANFF + LAKE LOUISE
Picture
Caption: After leaving the Yukon I ducked over to Alberta for a quick three days on the ski slopes.
Working with Banff/ Lake Louise Tourism I was visiting the Big 3! Mt Norquay, Lake Louise and Sunshine Village. ā·
I even managed to plan a few explorations in and around my skiing.
Picture
Caption: Mt Norquay Mt Norquay was first on the list and I loved the hill! There is less terrain than big sisters Lake Louise and Sunshine which makes it perfect for families. PROS: Excellent food and the fastest tubing I've done in šØš¦!

Caption: The best thing about the Big 3 pass is that you can mix it up, go to all three resorts as many times as you like.
Make sure you don't forget Mt Norquay and if you eat in the Lodge you're in for a real treat! The Tex Mex salad is one of the best things I've put in my mouth! šš

Picture
Caption: Lake Louise Lake Louise is definitely a pretty ski resort but so much more! I decided to spend the day on foot to see what else is on offer and I was pleasantly surprised!

Caption: Although the tubing is faster at Norquay it's still super fun at Lake Louise. Foot passengers can also access the gondola and do short hikes up the top.
Better yet? New sushi restaurant Kuma Yama IS as good as it looks. A bowl of ramen, some vege sushi and a Kirin beer and I felt on top of the world!
Picture
Caption: Sunshine Village Now this is where the serious skiing happens! Sunshine village has some major terrain and epic snow. Even on a busy Saturday I found empty runs and untouched snow!

Caption: Sunshine Village has a different vibe again, that's what I love about skiing all three resorts!
When you go you have to try the new heated chair lift, you can spot it from a mile away! Lol.
Also, hearty sit down ski fare is a must. I had a veggie lasagne and a delightful side salad. šš

Caption: After all of my skiing I managed visits to: Vermillion Lakes, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and Lake Minnewanka for š·.

I feel like Banff is almost a second home now so hit me up if you're going and looking for recommendations.
