Living in western Canada, we have an abundance of beauty surrounding us and while the summer is when our family vacations further west through Alberta and BC, the winter months offer visitors unbelievable views and opportunities and shouldn’t be passed over. Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and Canmore are Alberta locations that are favorites of hikers, skiers, snowboarders and nature-lovers alike. In fact, you don’t have to participate in any of those activities to enjoy Alberta (take it from me!) because in addition to the beauty of simply being in these places (Banff has amazing hotels and spas too!), the nightlife, shopping and entertainment in both Calgary and Alberta are perfect for families and couples alike.
Travel Alberta has launched a great video campaign sharing the Alberta adventures of Pro-Skier Bobby Brown (from Colorado) and Pro-Snowboarder (resident of Canmore) as they visit some of the most pictureaque and “Canadian-eh” locations in Alberta. Take a peek at one video here:
You can find more information about my second favorite 😉 Canadian province by following @travelalberta on Twitter and the #ExploreAlberta hashtag. Look for more videos on YouTube following the #Winterlust of Bobby and Mickey too!
We were out to Banff & Lake Louise last year snowshoeing in the Rockies – very picturesque!

Looks like they are having fun!
I have never been skiing but it looks like fun. The hockey part I could do no problem. 🙂
Skiing is a problem for me, LOL! I’m a danger to everyone else on the hill!
