Norquay New Years Torchlight Parade

Watch the mountain come alive as our team lights up the dark winter night. The Torchlight Parade is a Norquay tradition, where our talented staff and instructors ski down North American with glowing torches, creating a magical display visible from downtown Banff. A fiery farewell to the old year and a bright welcome to the new.

For the best view, head to downtown Banff and look up towards Mt. Norquay. It’s the perfect way to kick off your New Year’s festivities!
