Our family went to Mt. Norquay for the tubing - as we don't downhill ski. It turned out to be a lot of fun. The views were gorgeous, the ride was fast and a thrill, and yes, we wanted to do it over and over again. We would agree with the observations of some reviewers here that the overall wait... More

We returned to my favourite mountain since our last trip two years ago. Reommend the mountain host tours for a great experience. They are twice a day, for a couple of hours you get to ski/board with confidence with a hist who knows where to go and show you the mountain and some of the runs you may no discover... More

The Norquay Family Pass is such an amazing deal - rentals and ski/tubing for the whole day plus 4 hot chocolates for $154 is ridiculous! The snow was fresh and thick while the crowds were light. I don't think we waited more than 1 minute in a chairlift line. Amazing weekend! More

I have lived in Calgary for many years and had never skied Norquay until this year. They have a $2 Thursday deal starting in January on the second Tuesday of every month so why not? It's a relatively small ski area but has all amenities such as daycare, lodge, cafeteria etc, and our chair lifts plus tube parks. You can... More

My family & I had a great time in Banff this weekend with one major disappointment....Norquay's tubing. We came to Norquay at 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, thinking we would spend a wonderful 2 hours of tubing. After attempting to wait in the "lift" line that was moving at a snail's pace, we chose to hike up the hill. After... More

We drove up the road to Mt. Norquay on a beautiful, sunny day. We watched as all the skiers came down the hills. We aren't skiers, but we love to watch. We also drove up a road marked Snow Tubing. They are like inner tubes and the bottom is very smooth and these young people were coming down the hill... More

Our young kids are in the Weekend Warrior Program at Norquay and are absolutely loving the instruction they receive each Saturday. As a parent, I'm delighted with their progress over this past winter and continue to marvel at the friendly dedication of the instructors at Norquay. The program is well organized and we're looking forward to returning again in 2013.... More

We recently learned about the Tubing park at Mt Norquay and decided it was a good way to finish a weekend of nordic skiing in Banff National Park. It was snowing a blizzard today but the tubing was a hoot. The attendants said that its usually much faster, but with the piles of snow flying up into your face it... More

I have promised my kids for sometime that we would go visit Norquay's tube park. We are skiers, but decided we would have a fun day tubing for a change. The price seemed really decent for a family day out. It cost around $ 60 for two hours and initially thought we would upgrade to 4 hours if we wanted... More
