Beyond Banff Sunshine Village lies enormous potential for slack country skiing along the
Continental Divide. Both Rock Isle Lake and Quartz Ridge are a short skin from the ski area
boundary.
Lake Louise Ski Resort borders on impressive slackcountry terrain. West Bowl, Pipestone Ridge,
and Richardson Ridge only scratch the surface of the terrain available for those willing to skin
beyond.  Contact us for more details.
