When it comes to skiing and snowboarding in the Canadian Rockies, Canmore is at the epicentre of four different notable downhill ski areas, Lake Louise, Sunshine Village, Mount Norquay and Nakiska.
Sunshine Village - Only twenty minutes from Canmore, the Sunshine high-speed gondola whisks skiers up to the village at 7,000 feet. From there, numerous high-speed quads spread out all over the area - most above treeline for beautiful views and wide-open cruising.
Lake Louise - In one hour from Canmore, you can be at the top of Lake Louise, looking over the Bow Valley and preparing for an epic day of skiing or riding.
Mt. Norquay - Only 15 minutes from Canmore, the mighty Quay is where locals sneak away for 10 or 20 runs before heading to the office at lunch. It has plenty to offer skiers and riders all day long, and the only night skiing in the area every Friday.
Nakiska - A 40-minute drive from Canmore in beautiful Kananaskis Country, Nakiska offers a great mix of runs, with family cruisers, amazing glades, and steep corduroy runs to race down (evoking the 1988 Olympics, perhaps - Nakiska hosted the downhill events).
