The Banff SkiBig3 area includes Lake Louise, Sunshine, and Mt Norquay in the Rockies.
Banff SkiBig3 is three separate resorts included on one pass: Lake Louise (the largest), Sunshine Village (the highest), and Mt Norquay (closest to Banff town). The Delirium Dive area at Sunshine is inbounds extreme terrain requiring a beacon, shovel, probe, and a signed acknowledgment at the gate.
Hiring or renting ski equipment in Banff is the smart choice for most visitors. Luggage costs for ski gear can exceed the price of a week-long rental, and local shops offer ski rental perfectly tuned for Banff's terrain — all levels level, 200 km of pistes at up to 2730m.
Through GetSki you can rent any combination of equipment in Banff — from individual items to complete packages. Each service is delivered by verified local shops with on-mountain pickup and free swaps during your stay.
Snowboards for all riding styles available — freeride, freestyle, and all-mountain shapes tuned for Banff's all levels-level terrain. Bindings adjusted to your boots on pickup; free swap if conditions change mid-stay.
Properly fitted ski boots are the single biggest factor in comfort on 200 km of pistes. Local shops carry the latest models from Salomon, Atomic, Lange, and Tecnica — fitted by qualified bootfitters who know the terrain. If they don't feel right after the first day, swap them at no extra cost.
Certified helmets (CE EN 1077) from €5/day. Modern shells with MIPS rotational impact protection are available at most shops in Banff. Helmets are mandatory for under-18s in many resorts and strongly recommended for everyone — better to rent than fly with one.
Waterproof shells and insulated jackets sized for layering. Banff's typical november – may conditions can swing from −15 °C blue-sky days to wet sleet at lower altitudes — rental options cover both.
Skis + boots + poles bundled, the most cost-effective option for full-week stays. Typical pricing in Banff: CA$30–CA$60/day with package discounts of 15–25 % compared to renting items separately. Package level matched to your skill — beginner, sport, or performance.
Properly sized children's skis, boots, and helmets — adjusted to weight not just height for safer release-binding behaviour. Kids' ski sets are typically 30–50 % cheaper than adult equivalents in Banff; many shops offer free helmets when renting a full kids' package.
Forgiving skis (shorter than your height, softer flex) with comfortable beginner boots — built to make first turns easier on Banff's nursery slopes. Some shops bundle ski-school discount vouchers with their beginner packages, worth checking at booking.
Lightweight aluminium and carbon poles available individually if you're bringing your own skis and boots. Sized to your height by the shop on pickup.
UV-protected lenses for high-altitude bluebird days, plus high-contrast lenses for flat light and snow conditions — both worth having for Banff's top altitude of 2730 m.
Banff town is inside the national park, so wildlife corridors run through the streets — elk and occasionally bears walk past restaurants on Banff Avenue; après happens at the Bear Street Tavern and Park Distillery.
Typical daily ski rental in Banff costs CA$30–CA$60. Booking a full week package usually saves 15–25% compared to daily rates.
Take the free SkiBig3 shuttle rather than drive — Norquay has a 10-car parking lot that fills by 9am on weekends, but the shuttle runs every 30 minutes from any hotel in Banff town.
