I live in banff, have done for a while now.

I know you guys back home don't know much about Banff skiing and riding, because i didn't know jack before coming over here.

There are lots of you guys asking questions about doing a season over here so i though i would let you guys know what i found out.

If you want to ski or ride then your best bet is to work at a ski hill. Yeah you do get paid very little but the work is super easy and if you work at a hill like sunshine village you get a season pass that covers like 15 hills for free!

As for a place to live Banff is really popular and it is hard to find a place if you don't get your timing right. I stumbled on a website that really helped me find the place i'm living in now.

Find seasonal accommodation in banff canada, rooms for rent and employment

hope this helps!

The night life in banff is pretty good. There are alot of pubs and bars that always have cheap drinks, usually on sunshine villages pay day!!

As for clubs we only have two. Hoodoos and Aurora. They are small but fun for a while. Once the season gets going it's usually bars and house parties!

I was up there for a week last february and it was a great time. The places that my friend and I frequented was Bruno's and St. James Gate. They had a good crowd, nice a chill. Bruno's was definately the best place to go just to shoot the s*** with locals. There were a couple more right in that area that I do not remember the names of that were also a lot of fun. I would love to live up there for a couple years to just work and board.
