It is always a 'snow day' in Banff National Park
Banff National Park is the cool place to be this winter – in more ways than one! Celebrate the wonders of this exciting season with SnowDays, a fun-filled month of heart pumping, mid-week activities and weekend festivals jam-packed with adventures of all kinds.
Ninety-five years ago, Banff hosted its first Banff Winter Carnival, which saw enthusiastic participants hit the ice on the Bow River for some curling, and strap on their skis and snowshoes for fun in the snow. Nearly a century later, a full slate of festivals and activities bring those traditions to life: ice climbing, outdoor skating, hockey, ice carving, curling, snow sculptures, and more!
Experience Lake Louise's Sightseeing Gondola
For the entire month long Snow Days celebration, Lake Louise Ski Area will be offering a 2 for 1 offer special on Gondola foot passenger tickets. That's 2 tickets for only $21.26 +GST!
Now in its 18th year, this Banff National Park classic is more popular than ever. Experience Lake Louise at its winter finest during the Ice Magic Festival. Centerpiece to SnowDays, a new month-long celebration of winter in Banff National Park.
January 20 - 22 , International Ice Carving Competition Weekend
Hosted by The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, this 34- hour competition is the most anticipated spectacle of the Festival. 24 internationally recognized professional ice carvers work in teams of two to sculpt towering one-of-a-kind works of art from imposing blocks of solid ice on the shores of Lake Louise. With each ice block weighing a daunting 300lbs, this exceptional art form involves grueling physical labour in a delicate balancing act with precision artistry.
This years carving theme is "WordPlay: Where language comes out to play".
January 28 & 29 , Little Chippers Weekend
Join us as we celebrate the young and young at heart. Not only can you marvel at the finished ice carvings from the previous competition weekend, this weekend is filled with activities and experiences that are focused on family fun.
The "NEW" Ice Playground is where your kids - and you - can learn the art and science of ice carving first-hand, play ice mini golf, crawl through an ice tunnel and cruise down an ice slide. You can skate with the Ice Queen on Lake Louise, witness the 10-block ice carving event and spend time in the Cozy Corner Kids Indoor Activity Centre. All kids activities are free!

The Heart & Stroke Foundation of Alberta, NWT, & Nunavut is pleased to announce the exciting next generation of Ski for Heart:Heart&Stroke Death Defying Challenge!
Heart disease and stroke take 1 in 3 Canadians every year. Thousands of lives are cut short, moments lost forever, dreams left unfulfilled. But we can change this: each of us can make a commitment to defy death, and together we can give Canadians more time, more life.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation invites you to take a stand against death by registering for the Heart&Stroke Death Defying Challenge. It’s about making a commitment to your own health, engaging your family in lifestyle choices that lead to longer, fuller lives, and raising much-needed funds to support life-giving research and vital health education programs. We’re asking you to re-think death defying – because it doesn’t take a death-defying act to defy death.
Get started today – learn more about the event, then register and you're ready. You and your family will kick off the new year in good health, and you’ll be a part of a healthier future for all Canadians.
