SPRING IN BANFF
Spring in Banff is a season of rejuvenation – softening light on snow-dusted peaks, longer days along Banff Avenue, and a mountain town that feels beautifully unhurried as the valleys come back to life. At The Kenrick, spring unfolds as a refined mountain retreat where timeless hospitality meets modern comfort, offering the perfect home base for exploring Banff National Park and beyond.
Located just steps from Banff Avenue, The Kenrick places you moments from world-class spring experiences across Banff, Lake Louise, Canmore, and Kananaskis. The ski hills are still open – Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, and Mt. Norquay deliver some of the best conditions of the season, culminating in the legendary slush cup events in May. When you’re ready to trade skis for trail shoes, lower elevation hikes open up, wildlife emerges from hibernation, and lakes like Louise and Bow thaw into

Winter Exhibitions at The Whyte Museum
This winter, The Whyte Museum invites visitors to explore two compelling exhibitions that reflect the enduring relationship between people, place, and the mountain landscape.
Elise Rasmussen: An Alpine Trilogy brings together three interconnected works that re-examine alpine history and mythology through lens-based media, offering a poetic reflection on memory, visibility, and mountain culture.
On view in the Rummel Room, Second Take: Histories of Film in the Rockies looks behind the scenes of over a century of filmmaking in the Canadian Rockies, exploring how cinema shaped perceptions of wilderness, identity, and life in the Bow Valley.
Together, these exhibitions offer a thoughtful winter cultural experience rooted in the stories of the mountains and those drawn to them. On now until April 12, 2026.
Red Bull Jump & Freeze
Red Bull Jump & Freeze, a participatory winter event where any thrill seekers and creative designers can jump into the fun for a chance to be crowned the best in show. This event will see up to 30 teams dress up in creative costumes and ride down in a self-crafted vehicle, into icy, cold water to try to reach the other end of the pool. The best team will be judged on costume or vehicle creativity, performance and difficulty of their jump. Red Bull Jump & Freeze is a global event with participants in multiple countries taking the challenge, such as Japan, Slovakia and Kazakhstan. This event will be debuting in Canada at the historic Banff Sunshine Village Resort on April 25, 2026.
