It lasts forever, so yes, it will cost more than cheap competitors who cut corners, but it is always worth it. I was excited to find their store in Banff, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I was definitely recommend stopping by this store, and reading the books written by Patagonia's founders and corporate officers on why Patagonia is so special, and how other businesses can be too!

Not everything is touristy - some of it is really good quality and they have a pretty large store with a bunch of outdoor items if you are in need of some warm weather gear that you didn't bring and the weather has changed. It's expensive - but the quality seems nice. My husband found a nice hat inside that he loves from Banff to remember our trip.

Nightgowns, PJs, men's and women's shirts, etc etc. Mostly in lumberjack friendly patterns and colors like reds, blues, and greens. Some sheets and other housewares can be found here too. Prices are a little steeper but the quality of the flannel is high. It's so soft and cozy! You definitely get what you pay for. Shop isn't very big but it's packed with a lot of inventory. It fits in perfectly with the vibe of downtown Banff, for sure.

I've had only good shopping experiences here at Snowflake for over 10 years…read more My latest visit was just to browse, but I found a couple of gorgeous fur hats and a pair of fur mittens. I had to have them. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I've worked in retail for many years, so I also know you can ask for a discount at any time. You don't have to wait for a sale. There were many items on sale at the back. Everything is beautiful. It is true that some of the accessories are manufactured in China, but the fur coats are Canadian.

They say need time for "paperwork", so clearly they don't want to stay a minute past 7 pm. Terrible customer service to tell people they close earlier than advertised. If it's because they're not getting paid for the time required to close, then can't say I blame them and shame on the company.
