How busy is Banff in the winter? Are there just as many tourists as in the summer? I'm a fan of snowshoeing and would love to spend a little time in Banff poking around.

Still a fair amount - not nearly as many as in the summer, there are more locals visiting the mountains for skiing and boarding. I would definitely recommend it! If you aren't REALLY attached to staying in the park, get a hotel or something in Canmore - it is literally just outside the borders and is way cheaper for that reason. Plus, it's right by Kananaskis Country, if you want to snowshoe around there.
