Getting there
Which ski resort is closest to Calgary International Airport?+
Banff Sunshine, in Canadian Rockies, is the nearest at about 124 km in a straight line. By mountain road it is longer, but nothing else is closer.
How are these distances measured?+
As the crow flies, from the airport coordinates to each resort. It is a fair way to rank what is nearest, but real driving distance is longer on winding Alpine roads, so treat it as an order of proximity, not a transfer time.
