Offering almost 8,000 acres of skiable terrain on one tri-area lift ticket, the seasoned skier or rider will experience plenty of chutes, bowls, steeps and terrain parks to explore. If you’re a beginner, there’s nothing to worry about:  The three ski areas offer miles green and blue runs. So whether you’re seeking adrenaline-pumping verticals, double-black diamonds and exhilarating bowl runs or just a relaxing day of scenic vistas, powdery back country, and leisurely cruises—Banff’s three world-class ski parks offer it all. Not to mention, Banff’s scenic beauty is so spectacular that the United Nations has declared it a World Heritage Site.
