Built for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, Nakiska Ski Area is still carving out memories. With wide-open groomers, Olympic-length runs, and one of Canada’s most advanced snowmaking systems, Nakiska is built for consistent conditions and crowd-free carving. Families will love the beginner zone, magic carpet, and Wanidu Tube Park; seasoned skiers can test their edges on legacy downhill trails.

After a day on the slopes, kick back slope-side or explore nearby Kananaskis Village for après-ski eats, spa time, or a cozy night at the lodge. It’s the perfect basecamp for winter adventurers who want big-mountain energy with small-town ease. And with Calgary just 70 minutes away, it’s easy to make a weekend out of it.
