The Rocky Mountains are just one hour west of the city and feature multiple skiing and snowboarding resorts. Beginners can visit Nakiska, which offers plenty of smaller hills, as well as skiing and snowboarding lessons. Those who are experienced skiers or snowboarders may enjoy a more challenging resort, such as Sunshine. After a long day on the slopes, head into the town of Banff to enjoy a fondue dinner at the Grizzly House, or take in a local band at Wild Bill's Saloon.
