I stayed at the Banff Springs Resort, and the hotel is like a museum. There is as much to do inside the hotel (including bowling) as there is outside.

Overall
Banff Sunshine Ski Resort is in the heart of Banff National Park, and it's beautiful. Ski Sunshine has 3,358 ac on three mountains. You start your day at Sunshine taking a gondola to the ski area base village at 7,000 ft - very European that way. Given its elevation, Sunshine has spectacular scenery and snowy mountains in all directions. Sunshine is so big you vast it encompasses skiing on both sides of the Continental Divide - Alberta and British Columbia.
