Thanks to its high elevation, Banff has a long season. Mt. Norquay and Lake Louise usually open in early to mid-November, while Sunshine Village can run from early November all the way to the third week of May. Always check the official SkiBig3 website for the most current dates.

Absolutely. You can rent skis, snowboards, boots, and helmets directly at all three resorts or from numerous rental shops located in the towns of Banff and Lake Louise.

The SkiBig3 lift ticket is your best bet. It provides access to all three resorts – Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay – and includes free shuttle service between the mountains, so you only need one pass for your entire trip.

Winter driving in the Canadian Rockies can be challenging, with icy patches and heavy snowfall. Canadian law also requires vehicles to have snow tires or chains in national parks during winter. Booking a professional Banff transfers service with Rocks2Rocks means you don’t have to worry about road conditions, rental car regulations, or navigating in a new place. Our professional drivers and properly equipped vehicles ensure a safe and relaxing start to your vacation.

We recommend booking your transportation as soon as you confirm your flights and accommodation, especially if you are traveling during peak periods like Christmas, New Year’s, or Presidents’ Day week. This ensures the best availability and pricing.

We often have special pricing available for larger groups or for travel during off-peak times. Exact information is not available on our website – please contact us directly for a custom quote and to inquire about any current promotions.
