Anybody here live or has lived in Banff? I have a phone interview with the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and was just wondering if anybody could tell what Banff is like to live in? Thanks
 
Banff is really sick, It's a tourist town though. And I mean at the height of tourist season, it's BUSY! That said though, it makes for some really cool stores, and restaurants, and the town has a really good vibe to it. Always new people to meet, and lots of really active ones. There are two well known ski hills very close, (louise and sunshine) and there are a few more not to far off as well. Banff is a sick place and the Fairmont is ridiculously nice.
 
if you like icy blue runs go for it.

sunshine generally has more snow but louise has way sicker terrain so go there when there is snow
 
banff is fucking DOPE!!! ive been to banff twice and i love it. the only thing thats shitty is the mosquitoes. other than the its the best place on earth! it does get really really busy tho. if you want to live in banff you are going to need a reason to live in banff (your job), and i think you need to pay fees every year (not sure). best thing might be get live in canmore and just buy a all year round park pass. its like a 10 min drive from canmore to banff
 
Banff is super sick.

Really hard to get a job at because sooo many people go there..

I had a sick time in banff, get sunshine and lake louise cards which are really useful but definitely is sick place.

Good luck with the interview cause i couldnt get a job.
 
Banff is one of the best places ever, theres so much unique stuff, one of my favorite parts of skiing at Sunshine is going to Banff at night. As for skiing, my favorite place would be Sunshine, they definitley get the most snow, however that means its cloudy alot there, and it's usually pretty hard to see because alot of it is above the treeline, so when its really bad all you see is white. They probably have my favorite park, alot of sweet stuff in it, although this year the bottom park felt kind of empty, they had alot of rails up top into a long run in for this huge crossover gap with some rails on the side. Louise is really fun to, probably better than Sunshine on cloudy days since you can stay down in the trees, but their park isn't as good(but I heard it's gonna be alot better this year) and they don't get as much snow. Norquay is kind of a family hill, but it can be pretty fun if you look around a little. I think(?) they have the biggest jumps in the Banff area, pretty sure they did last year anyway, and they have some sweet rails to, even if the park is a little smaller. But yeah, if you have the oppurtunity to move to Banff I would definitley take it, it's an amazing place!
 
i stayed at the fairmont springs a few years back, and it was absolutely unbelievable. Enough so that i get disappointed with every single hotel i stay in since, just because it's never going to be as good. So i think it would be kind of cool to work there.

as said, banff is a cool little town. Lots of little shops and stuff to do, and the whole area is beautiful. And sunshine provides excellent skiing, as does louise. Never was able to get to norquay, but from what i hear, its the smaller of the 3, but has some great terrain and is just too close to ignore.

good luck!
