As the winter months will soon be upon us, what better place to celebrate the season than Banff National Park! Residents of Banff and Lake Louise embrace the start of winter, sharpening ice skates to glide across frozen lakes, waxing skis for cross-country trails and checking out the ski and snowboard gear for another six months of outdoor adventures in the Canadian Rockies. With the abundance of activities available throughout the WinterStart Festival there is something special for people of all ages to enjoy.
