BANFF HISTORY
TRIP DESCRIPTION
THE BIG 3 Mountains…..Lake Louise, Sunshine and Norquay
Apres Ski events are planned for every night including at the famous Banff Springs Resort which is only a few minutes away. Sunday night will be the SCSC welcome party and we can discuss the events of the day and continue planning the rest of the week.
Mid week optional dinner for both Austin and SCSC.
If you are interested in any non skier activities or just want to take a day off, Matty at Sports America will be coordinating these. They are booked on an individual basis and will include dog sledding, snowmobiling, snow tubing, and sleigh rides. Details not yet available. There are many museums and some historical sites not far from the Ptarmigan Inn. Also Banff national park is nearby.
Canada has a favorable exchange rate. At this writing $1.00 USD to $1.36 CAD.
AND LET US NOT FORGET THE BIG 3!!!!! Some of the best and fluffiest snow ever!!!! I went with the club 3 years ago and have been waiting for the opportunity to go again. Your ski passes are good at all of The Big 3. The Big 3 also accepts the Ikon pass.
Oh, and then there is the possibiliy of an aurora borealis. I will be on the website and keeping everyone posted. This is on my bucket list.
