I've done a couple in banff and plan on staying for a while.
9/10 would recommend to a friend.
pros: shit ton of diverse terrain, really good parks, pretty good slackcountry, lots of other daytrippable resorts, nice views, heaps of good places to eat/drink, great locals, easy/cheap transportation
cons: hit and miss snow/vis, rocky and avy prone terrain is common, dipshit tourists, high rent/cost of living, STD capital of canada, sometimes the grocery stores run out of salad
Seems like Banff is an awesome place to ride. But I would not recommend it for this year. Its Canada's 150th and park passes are free. The place will be overcrowded and price gouging is rampant this year. Jasper's situation is the same.
