Banff's Mount Norquay
Since 1926 Banff Mount Norquay has been the ski area for Banff locals. Just minutes from town, Mount Norquay has everything you need for a great day of skiing or riding, no matter what your ability. Starting with the first ski runs cut in 1926, Banff Mount Norquay now encompasses a wide variety of terrain and ticket options to suit everyone. The terrain ranges from gentle beginner runs that provide areas to build confidence and skill, up to heart pounding double black diamond runs that will challenge any expert.

Banff Sulpher Mountain Gondola 
Sulphur Mountain Gondola transports visitors to an elevation of 2,281m above sea level at the top of Sulphur Mountain  This offers the best view in the Canadian Rocky Mountains - an unobstructed 360° view of the most memorable mountain scenery you will ever witness! At the summit, enjoy nature on one of our three outdoor observation terraces. For the adventurous, there are trails along beautiful mountain ridges with panoramic views. 

Holiday on Horseback 
For the last 40 years, it has been our pleasure to uphold the back country tradition of riding through the Canadian Rockies. Our in-town rides are ideal for those with just a day or so to catch hold of a little of the west. You can travel along the Bow River, or up onto Sulphur mountain. Our backcountry rides are perfect for people of all ages and abilities, who have a little more time to spend in the rockies with us. We have something for everyone, tenting or lodges from two to six days.

Lake Minnewanka Boat Tours
Lake Minnewanka lies in the heart of the Canadian Rockies in Banff National Park, just a short 15 minute drive from the town site. Lake Minnewanka Boat Tours operates three 48 passenger tour boats on the lake, several times daily from mid May to mid October. This magnificent cruise consists of a 1.5 hour interpretive tour of Lake Minnewanka and surrounding area.

Sunshine Village 
The Village offers the largest selection of restaurants, bars and lounges. There are 6 restaurants, bars and lounges located here and offers something for every person. The Daylodge offers a pasta buffet, a cafeteria and a deli for your appetite needs. There also is Intersport, our on mountain sports retailer.

Have you ever heard the adage that ski shops simply aren't run by ski bums anymore? Well, you know what? The Ski Stop is! When we're not working, we're out there - just like you. So, what does this mean to you? It means that when we tell you that a particular ski or board or bike is a sweet ride, we're not simply reading from a brochure - we're talking from experience. And when summer's here, we're out there mountain biking, road riding and touring. We don't stop when the snow does. We're out serving you 365 days a year!
