Here are some new exciting things coming up for the 2012/2013 ski season at Banff resort!

Mt. Norquay

Banff’s backyard playground is back with some big changes this coming season, opening up its runs to cater to all ski abilities and winter activities.

Safety First – New Loading Conveyer

Taking steps to open up the mountain to beginner skiers and snowboarders, Mt. Norquay has introduced a loading conveyor on its already improved Spirit Chair! Aimed at providing greater terrain access for beginners and improved safety for all skiers, the loading conveyer provides riders with easy chair access and a much faster ride up the mountain by reducing the ‘stops and slows’ by more than 50%. This means more runs, more fun.

Tubular Man – Tube Town Expansion!

Hold on to your hats for the Mt. Norquay Tube Town expansion! With new lanes, new lifts and improved slopes, Mt. Norquay’s famous Tube Park is back with a bang for another season. Plans to double the amount of tubing lanes will kick tubing into the next gear so you can spend more time experiencing that thrill ride down the mountainside.

The Lake Louise Ski Area

The Lake Louise Ski Area presents its new Base Area Play Zone! Catering to all abilities, the exciting new installments to the Lake Louise Ski Area will ensure its best season ever!

Big Air Bag Jump

First up is the incredible big air Bag Jump. Designed by professional snowboarders, Hollywood stuntmen and leading engineers, the Bag Jump is for expert skiers and snowboarders who want to catch some serious air on the slope this season. This full time installment of the ultimate ‘big kids’ toy means you can safely perfect your Double Rodeos and Triple Corks without stressing about landing them.

Brand New Tube Park!

For those more inclined to keep their feet on the slope, the Lake Louise Ski Area presents the opening of a brand new Tube Park! Located at the base of the ski area, the new Tube Park is the perfect addition to the aptly named, Base Area Play Zone. The second of its kind to the area, the Tube Park is great for all ages and abilities for those still wanting the white powder rush.

Learning & Adventure Area on the Slope

As well as the Bag Jump and Tube Park, The Lake Louise Ski Area will open a brand new Learning & Adventure Centre. This includes a revamped beginners and kids area, with two new magic carpets for easy access for beginners, aged five to ninety-five.

Sunshine Village

Smoke Houses, Creperies and Vietnamese Delicacies

During a full day on the mountain, you need time to fuel up. Time and effort is being spent by Sunshine Village in expanding and improving their food and beverage services to ensure the culinary need of every guest is met. The addition of a smoke house to Mad Trapper’s Saloon will expand Sunshine Village’s signature dishes, while the introduction of a Vietnamese Pho café in the Daylodge will provide a fresh, hot and healthy alternative to your usual lodge lunch.

Sunshine Village has Snow!

Some exciting news at Sunshine Village as of September 12 – they got their first snowfall! This means we can expect an early and great ski season in Banff this year which is another excuse as to why everyone should book their Banff ski packages early in order to take advantage of our exclusive offers and savings!

An afternoon rainstorm turned quickly to snow at Sunshine Village this week. The mid-day storm blanketed the resort, providing a fresh winter blanket of wet, heavy snow.

With night time temperatures hovering around the freezing mark, and snow hitting the mountains at such an early date, the resort is poised to kick off a new ski season the first few weeks of November.

“When we receive such an early snowfall it certainly wets our appetite for things to come,” begins Tanya Otis, Manager of Communications, Media and Advertising at Sunshine Village Ski and Snowboard Resort. “With the cooperation of Mother Nature we anticipate seeing skiers and riders hit the slopes with our opening day scheduled for November 9th.”

This late summer snowstorm may be a precursor of things to come, with Accuweather.com predicting early snowfall in the mountains.

Senior meteorologist Brett Anderson for Accuweather.com recently released a report highlighting Canada’s fall forecast which indicates the Rockies may in fact receive early season snow. And additional reports from Accuweather.com continue to speculate heightened precipitation within the coming months.

“Following on the heels of Sunshine Village’s spectacular 2011-2012 season, we are optimistic that we will see a repeat performance of last year’s record-breaking 34-feet of snow. Every appearance of the white stuff ignites excitement within the resort in addition to the ski and snowboarding community.”

Sunshine Village has the longest non-glacial season in Canada and is renowned for its champagne powder snow.
