Beginners – all 3 areas are great for beginners as the gentle nursery slopes provide a good base to start from. Why not join the ski school for a few days?
Intermediates – Ski Norquay is a good base to ease the legs back in, then move on to Sunshine Village where there's even more variety with open bowls and plenty of long runs to get the adrenaline flowing. Lake Louise offers great challenges and is a must to add some variation.
Advanced – An experts dream! The off-piste experiences at Sunshine and Lake Louise will leave you breathless. For marked runs try the American Ridge Blacks at Norquay, at Sunshine head to Lookout Mountain and Goats Eye, head straight to the Back Bowls at Lake Louise.
Snowboarding – All 3 areas have a boarding park so freestylers will be entertained. There is good riding on all areas for freeriders with plenty of long blue and red runs.
