Banff People

Banff has always been a place of explorers, adventurers and pioneers. Little has changed since the days of Tom Wilson and John Brewster, two famous characters that turned Sliding 29, Banff 's original name, into the majestic village that it is today.

Come explore Banff and you will be amazed by the Banff Springs hotel, the Cave and Basin, the incredible bow river and of course the incredible ski hills with the great snow. These are all memories that you will take home, but the stories that you will tell will be of the young man who helped you get your skis ready for the day, the lovely woman who served your breakfast or that funny older gentleman that drove you to the ski hill. The natural beauty of the area will amaze you, but it's the people you will meet are what will make your holiday the best ever.

At Banff Horizons, we hire only locals. A local in Banff is someone who not necessarily was born here, but may have chosen to live here out of true love. I came here to work for a season, ended up falling in love with the area and have been here for 10 years; is such a common saying that it's rare to find someone in Banff that really was born in the region. People move to Banff for lifestyle, culture and the Rocky Mountain Experience.

That Rocky Mountain Experience is so powerful that it is contagious. Here you will find people helpful, happy and enjoying what they do. You will find by the end of your holiday that you to will be happy, helpful and enjoying what you are doing.

Politeness is rooted in the Canadian culture. We pride ourselves on being polite, be it in the lift lines, restaurants, or shops. As a result, you will find lift lines move smoothly, collisions rarely happen and the liftees are there to help. Stay a while, and you will find how relaxing this attitude is.
