Banf In April

[Scotchvalley]

Anyone been to Banff recently? 2024?

Sunshine is the best of the 3 there.

The Beaver is the best bar in town.

My boss skis Sunshine all the time (that’s the best of the three). What do you want to know. April is generally good. I have been there in mid March a few years back and it was quite good

I know the big three well. I see the snow pack is kinda low. I am just wondering how it's skiing. Love to get a Kzone type ski report.

I'll have a LL report Sunday night for you.

It's not a historic year for sure - but seems like they had a great February.

I like Sunshine - but that Gondola ride up is brutally long. I'd rather go to LL - and that lodge - WOW.

Our crew liked Lake Louise the best. I guess it depends on what you like to ski. Other than Goat's eye, Sunshine was mostly relatively low-angle, open rolling terrain. Lake Louise seemed to have more steeps - the entire back side is chutes and scary steeps. When you visit Sunshine, be sure to bring your sunny lenses - the place didn't earn that name for nothing. When we went you could barely see because of the sun glare.

Hillbangin, Any updates?

Sorry for the Delay

It's pretty good up there - Back bowls are full - no ice. Everything under Paradise Chair was skiable.

Rock Garden - way low compared to 2 Marchs ago.

Snow is 'loud' though. LL gets a lot of traffic - and it gets troughed up quick.

We were planning on skiing LL 2 days - but bailed and drove Banff to Revi - and made the right decision.

Revi is not where it usually is - but it's really good.

The usual r*in in town - snow above the Gondi.

Went straight to Greely - knee high.............

Thanks for the report! Very helpful. Plan is to ski second week in April. Hopeful for bowl soft bumps after morning warm up. Hopefully rock garden holds up. Daughter’s favorite.

One of my favorite all time Warren Miller lines..... "What sound does a skier make when they fall off of a cliff? Banff!!"

Did you go to the Beaver yet.
