While in Banff, we were lucky enough to meet up with two different groups of friends. We skied at Sunshine Valley, which was 15 minutes from the Town of Banff and within Banff National Park. One of the best parts of this resort was that it did not have a huge base area or developments around the ski area, since it is within the national park. Snowdays in Banff was going on when we were there, so one of the highlights was getting to see the snow sculptures. Visiting Banff in the winter was beautiful and had much less tourists than in the summer, so it is a great time to go.
