Mt. Norquay is in Banff National Park, 6 kilometres from downtown Banff and 112 kilometres from Calgary. The resort lists its base at 1,680 metres (5,512 feet). Four chairlifts serve the mountain: the Mystic high-speed quad, the Cascade and Spirit quads and the North American double, plus three conveyors. Norquay averages 300 centimetres of snow a year, and snowmaking covers 85% of the skiable terrain.
The first ski runs here date to 1926. Norquay has night skiing on Friday and Saturday evenings on the Cascade Chair and in the lit terrain park, and the resort says it’s the only night skiing in the Canadian Rockies.
Cascade Lower and Cascade Top show the bottom and top of the Cascade Chair, which is also the night skiing lift. Tube Park shows the top of the tubing lanes. Mystic Top is at the top of the Mystic quad. There’s no snow stake cam, so check the conditions page for new snow.
From Banff, it’s 6 kilometres up the Mt. Norquay Access Road. Canmore is 25 kilometres east on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1), and the resort says Calgary is about an hour away. A free shuttle runs from Banff, and you can park at the Banff Train Station and ride the hourly shuttle, a 7-minute trip.
Alberta doesn’t require winter tires, but the province recommends four winter or all-weather tires in severe winter conditions. 511 Alberta shows road conditions.
Mt. Norquay is on the Ikon Pass with 7 days and the Ikon Base Pass with 5. Those days are shared with Banff Sunshine and Lake Louise, the other SkiBig3 resorts. The Ikon Session Pass includes it too.
