Mount Norquay

With 190 acres of skiable terrain, 60 runs, six lifts and 503 metres (1,650 feet) of vertical, Mt. Norquay packs plenty into a compact mountain just minutes from downtown Banff. From mellow groomers and learning zones to steep chutes and technical lines, the resort offers terrain for every level. Norquay is an easy choice for a few quick laps or a full day on the slopes, and to experience Banff like a true local.

Since opening in 1926, Mt. Norquay has played a defining role in Banff’s ski culture, from developing Olympic and World Cup athletes to introducing generations of families to the sport. Following its 100th anniversary season in 2025–26, the resort is looking ahead with the Norquay 100 vision, a long-term plan that celebrates its heritage while shaping the next century of skiing in Banff.

Just minutes from downtown, Norquay offers a mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced terrain, with more than a third of its 190 acres rated advanced or expert. There’s plenty to do beyond traditional skiing and riding, too. Norquay is home to Tube Town, with six lanes of tubing fun, as well as a fully lit terrain park and the only night skiing in Banff National Park. It’s a mountain with a century of history, but plenty of reasons to keep coming back
