Assured that children will never get bored here
Yes, it is the oldest ski hill in North America
The town of Banff, Alberta, Canada, North America, is to many, such a far distance away. If you can call 75 minutes from a major airport far, you be right. The scenic sights that surround Banff are more than scenic, they are actually set in a park, not like a park with a swing set, but a park with a wild everything. Peaks that cut into the pure blue sky with razor edges. Eyes wide open around every corner for some wild animal, even in the heart of Banff. Ice waterfalls, frozen down sheer steeps faces of the rock formations. And then there is the grand daddy ski resort, just a step away to the north.

This ski slope can be called the ancients of ancients. Like 1926. It can also be called one for the youth. Like a tubing merry-go-round. A simple swing set set in the soft snow. Tubing park for the lil’ dudes n dudettes. Mogul run for the same. Cross country is here too. Wanna jump high with a soft landing? That is here too. Races. Yep, that too. Fictional animals to hide from? That is right around the corner.
Time slipped away here by that view.
Banff has two top of the line world famous ski resorts. Mt. Norquay is not a resort. It is a class act local ski slope, dating back to a time before the Great Depression. Drop those little bugga’s off at the bottom and take a chair lift ride up and do not look down or behind you. Wait until you get to the top, drop your ski tips back on the snow, turn to your left, and look at that view. Just try to remember that you came here to ski, as that view back down to Banff, will set you in a hypnotic state, and you came to the top to ski, not sightsee. Give the grandaddy of ski resorts, Mt. Norquay, Alberta, a chance. The old dude will deliver.
The challenge here is to not turn around until you get to the top.
