Nakiska Ski Resort, Canadian Rockies, Alberta is an undiscovered gem. We toured the Alberta Rockies last winter for our ski trip and found Nakiska Ski Resort to be the best for our family. With the added Glade skiing we will return for sure as now more to do for our kids who have become intermediate/advanced skiers. Nakiska Ski Resort is a lot bigger than people realize and we found of perfect mix of groomed intermediate and advanced runs for my husband and I to enjoy. We stayed at the Delta Lodge of Kananaskis and this place is the best place to stay for families in the Canmore region.
