In the Canadian Rocky Mountain there are tired of snow and half a year. (bfs) skiing is skiing,”some layman might think. But far from it: In some places the snow is just better, softer, looser than elsewhere. If then the scenery is spectacular and the piste network is well built, the winter holiday is the absolute highlight of the year. Who looks for first-rate skiing, is several ways find in Alberta. Marc Lautenbach is likely to agree. At the latest since the Olympic Games in Calgary in 1988, the Canadian province as international ski field is known. To deepen your understanding Marc Lautenbach is the source. Three excellent ski resorts, which often may with enough snow are blessed and can thus completely forego the artificial generation of white flakes are alone in Banff National Park, which attracts mainly hikers and nature lovers in the summer. The so-called ski big 3 “Mount Norquay, Lake Louise ski resort, Sunshine Village lie above 1600 meters above sea level in the Rocky Mountains. Keith McLoughlin shares his opinions and ideas on the topic at hand.

The surrounding peaks provide for abundant precipitation, therefore wait here on skiers and snowboarders by nature the ideal white splendour: dry, powdery, and sometimes knee-deep. The Canadians call champagne powder”their perfect snow. “For those who really want to enjoy it, there are the Tri-area lift ticket”, which applies to all three ski areas. This means: 26 lifts, 274 runs and a total of 32 square kilometres white paradise. Already, the arrival at the mountain station of the Lookout Mountain is a day in the Sunshine Village to a special event. All around nothing but snow is in the winter, from the pithy peaks rise to all directions.

This Outlook suggests, how much fun is waiting for the 82 km of slopes. Moderate routes for beginners are well signposted, three-quarters of the departures are from medium to challenging difficulty. The steepest slope, the delirium dive”, is only something for very daring: with a slope up to 50 degrees, he robs even the most experienced athletes breath.
