  1. Hi there! Thank you for this! We are thinking about bringing our 8 and 10 year old out for skiing from the US. (we usually go to Targhee/Jackson to ski) but looking for a more natural type experience. But, other ski moms have told me that they could cancel ski school, Banff Sunshine, or that it will be way too cold for skiing. Now, I know to layer and all, but wondering if you think the risk is too great for -20 degrees and the like so sledding, ski school, etc. will be cancelled? Thanks so much!

    1. It typically has to be -30 for the lifts to close, which usually happens once a season where the resorts may shut for a few days during the cold snap. I’m unsure at what temperatures they will cancel ski school, but -15 is pretty normal for skiing in Banff. We’ve been out plenty in -20 as well and have never seen anything canceled. It’s hard to predict the weather,so I would still go ahead with plans, but just know that ultra cold snaps can happen.
