Skiers and snowboarders looking for a deal and a chance to celebrate Canadian pride are in for a treat this spring. Mt. Norquay, a historic ski resort in Banff, Alberta, is inviting guests to hit the slopes for just $18.67 on April 2. This special promotion commemorates Canada’s rich history and the resort’s nearly century-long legacy as a proudly Canadian-owned and operated ski destination. The day is also happening around the time that U.S. tariffs are scheduled to go into effect.
Typically, a full-day adult lift ticket at Mt. Norquay costs $119, making this limited-time offer an incredible bargain. The resort is encouraging guests to embrace the celebration by dressing in red and white, creating a sea of Canadian spirit across the mountain.
The symbolic $18.67 ticket price pays homage to the year 1867, when Canada officially became a country. On July 1 of that year, the British North America Act united Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada (now Ontario and Quebec) into a single nation. This historic moment laid the foundation for the country that Canadians proudly call home today.
By offering an affordable day on the slopes, Mt. Norquay is not only celebrating Canada’s past but also highlighting its own heritage. As one of the oldest ski resorts in North America, Norquay has been a staple of the Canadian ski scene for 99 years, offering breathtaking views, diverse terrain, and a welcoming atmosphere for winter sports enthusiasts.
Beyond discounted lift tickets, the resort is transforming the event into a full-blown celebration of Canadian culture. Visitors are encouraged to show their national pride by wearing their most spirited red and white attire while enjoying a day of skiing and snowboarding.
The event also serves as an opportunity for skiers and riders to learn more about the history and future of Mt. Norquay. The resort has been a cornerstone of Banff’s outdoor community for nearly a century, and as it approaches its 100th anniversary, it continues to uphold its commitment to offering an exceptional ski experience.
For those eager to take advantage of this patriotic promotion, advance ticket purchases are required and are available here.
