Ski Escape: Jasper and Banff, Alberta
This trip runs from January 31 to February 7, 2026.
This trip brings together two of Canada’s most iconic mountain towns — Jasper and Banff — for a week of skiing, exploring, and unwinding in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. You’ll stay at two of the country’s most legendary hotels, ski at three major resorts, and travel through landscapes so beautiful, they’ve been recognized as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We begin in Jasper, tucked inside the vast wilderness of Jasper National Park. The town is resilient and welcoming — a place that’s come through a tough period of wildfires and is ready to be celebrated again. Our home base is the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, a classic Canadian property on the edge of a frozen lake, surrounded by snow-covered peaks. One of the highlights? A soak in the heated outdoor pool, with views that stretch across the valley. Skiing at Marmot Basin, just 30 minutes away, is relaxed, scenic, and ideal for intermediate skiers easing into the trip. And if you're not skiing, the peaceful trails and natural setting make it a winter getaway in its own right.
From Jasper, we drive the legendary Icefields Parkway — one of the most scenic highways in the world — through glacier-carved valleys, past frozen waterfalls and towering peaks, deep into Banff National Park.
In Banff, we stay at the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs — a castle-like hotel with views in every direction and a front-row seat to the Rockies. From here, you can ski all three SkiBig3 resorts, each one accessible by shuttle:
-
Lake Louise (about 45 minutes away), with long runs, jaw-dropping views, and the new West Bowl terrain
-
Sunshine Village (about 25 minutes away), where a gondola lifts you to serene wide open slopes
-
and Mount Norquay, Banff’s original ski hill (about 10 minutes away) — small, steep, and great for a bonus lap or two, including night skiing
When you're not skiing, the town of Banff itself is worth the trip. It’s picture-perfect — framed by snow-covered peaks, with a walkable main street full of restaurants, galleries, shops, and lively spots for après. If you haven’t been, it absolutely belongs on your list. And if you have? You already know how good it feels to come back.
This trip blends high end hotels, unforgettable skiing, and some of the most stunning mountain scenery on Earth — all set in Canada’s backyard. Join us!
