Hollywood Heads for Banff and So Can You
Next week Hollywood stars will flock to the world-class ski resort of Banff for the Celebrity Sports Invitational at the Fairmont Banff Springs.
However to try the ultimate experience of skiing in a national park, ski enthusiasts don’t need to be on the “A” list with an income to match. As Pierce Brosnan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Alec Baldwin and Christie Brinkley head for Alberta’s Rocky Mountains there’s still plenty of time to follow the stars to some of the best snow in the world.
Banff and its ski resorts of Sunshine Village, Lake Louise Mountain Resort and Ski Norquay are famous for their scenery, champagne powder snow, state-of-the-art grooming equipment and lift systems, all delivering a superior winter holiday experience to visitors that has them returning for more.
The destinations Tri-Area lift ticket allows the freedom to roam and discover all three resorts, ensuring that no two days are the same and winter sports enthusiasts get more for their money.
The resort offers a wide range of accommodation from hotels and spas to budget family properties and small inns. Within the town, holidaymakers have a wide range of après ski options from contemporary restaurants serving fresh local dishes to café’s and pubs with live bands.
An additional advantage of selecting an established destination is being able to tailor your trip to the needs of your party. Experienced skiers and boarders can opt for a free orientation of the days’ best slopes with a friendly Snowhost, or for something different, can sign up for a course in off-piste free riding, freestyle skiing, extreme riding or high pro free carving.
For families the Rockies resorts have superior childcare facilities from crèches for those too young to venture onto the snow, to ski school for older children. Lake Louise’s Minute Maid Wilderness Adventure Park will educate little minds whilst they practise their turns and the new Rogers Terrain Park at Sunshine Village gives older adrenalin junkies the opportunity to challenge their skills and ride high.
For a great deal this winter check out the UK tour operators who feature Banff. For example Crystal Holidays have trips to Banff departing between 2nd and 9th February from £399 per person including scheduled return flights from Heathrow to Calgary, transfers and 7 nights room only accommodation for more information see www.banffcanada.co.uk.
