Banff and Lake Louise, Alberta, See Historic Snowfall as SkiBig3 Surges Into Winter - SnowBrains
"At Lake Louise Ski Resort , December delivered 282 centimeters (111 inches) of snow, breaking a 75-year-old December record and marking the snowiest single winter month the resort has seen since 1970. By the end of December, Lake Louise was sitting at 226% of its seasonal average snowfall, an extraordinary benchmark this early in the season. Nearby, Banff Sunshine Village logged 268 centimeters (106 inches) during December, ranking as the fifth snowiest month ever recorded at the resort."
"Even Mt. Norquay , traditionally the driest of the three SkiBig3 resorts due to its lower elevation, saw a dramatic turnaround. Norquay recorded 120 centimeters (47 inches) of snow in December alone-up sharply from just 10 centimeters in December 2024 and 32 centimeters in December 2023. Combined with December's totals, nearly 94% of terrain across SkiBig3 is now open, including marquee zones like Sunshine's Delirium Dive and Wild West,"
Lake Louise received 282 centimeters (111 inches) of snow in December, breaking a 75-year-old December record and marking the snowiest single winter month since 1970.

Banff Sunshine Village logged 268 centimeters (106 inches) in December and accumulated 416 centimeters (164 inches) from opening day through December, reaching 147% of average and ranking as the fourth snowiest season start. Mt. Norquay recorded 120 centimeters (47 inches) in December, up from 10 centimeters in 2024 and 32 centimeters in 2023. Combined totals have opened nearly 94% of SkiBig3 terrain, and northern latitude, colder temperatures, and high-alpine terrain produce lighter, drier "Prosecco Powder™" that supports one of North America's longest ski seasons.
