$2,120
(Per person, double occupancy)



Located in the Eastern Canadian Rockies in the heart of Canada's first national park, the town of Banff is surrounded by majestic mountains and stunning natural beauty.  With it's quaint mix of restaurants, bars and shops, it is the hub for the Big 3 ski areas (Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Norquay).  A free shuttle service provides transportation from the Caribou Lodge to the three areas.

There is something for everybody (including the non-skier) including ice-skating, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, soaking in the Banff hot springs, sight-seeing from the Banff Gondola, sleigh rides, viewing the frozen waterfalls of Johnston Canyon, etc.

As this is an international trip, registrants will be required to have a valid passport with an expiration date no earlier than 6 months prior to the return date to the US.  When registering, you will be required to provide your passport number and expiration date.  If you have TSA Pre or Global Entry, you should be prepared to provide these numbers as well.

There is a limit of two single occupancies on this trip.  In addition, a maximum of two members will be allowed to fly separately from the group.
