Note from Robin : The three ski resorts in Banff National Park all have something to offer. Take a week to spend a couple days in Banff, a couple days in Lake Louise, and at least one night at the mountain lodge atop Sunshine. Don’t forget to get your park permit when you enter Banff National Park, and watch out for the elk!
