Description

The history and lore of Banff's favorite outdoor sport is celebrated in this complex. The museum follows the sport of skiing from its century-old origins to the present day and introduces visitors to some of the sport's most exciting personalities. Special exhibits are devoted to the development of popular Rocky Mountain ski resorts Sunshine Valley Ski Resort and Lake Louise Ski Area, while Canada's most successful ski-athletes are immortalized with individual exhibits. It is enough to give novice skiers—those equipped with rented equipment and purple bruises—a serious inferiority complex.
