Nature
Mount Norquay, northwest of Banff in Banff National Park, is both a mountain and one of the park’s three major ski areas, noted for compact but demanding terrain and the area’s only night skiing. Named in 1904 for former Manitoba premier John Norquay, it became an early center of Canadian skiing, with runs established in 1926, a lodge in 1929, rope tows in 1942, and Canada’s second chairlift in 1948. Norquay has long played a major role in alpine racing and ski jumping in Canada, hosting national and international events and producing champions through the Banff Alpine Racers.
