Your so called “Big 3” Ski Pass offers you a diversified ski program with scenic vistas at Lake Louise, 100 % natural powder snow at Sunshine Village and excellent prepared slopes at Banff and Norquay Ski Area.

Located on the fringe of the Bugaboos, Panorama is also part of the largest Heli-Ski area in the world. Travel on to Fernie Alpine Resort where you experience world famous light and deep powder conditions, as well an excellent mix of open bowls, tree runs and marked runs for all levels of skiing. Face shots are a regular thing, so bundle up. Mountains of snow, mountains of adventure! An amazing 29 feet of natural snow blankets the ski area’s impressive five alpine bowls nestled in the majestic limestone cliffs of the Lizard Range. Fernie is fastest growing resort in Canada, “top ten in North America’, ‘most improved’ and ‘best new lifts’ are just a few of the notable awards this resort has earned. More than 105 slopes are waiting to be discovered. When will you ski in Fernie’s fluffy Champagne Powder?
