February in the Rockies is absolutely breathtaking, but you are 100% right to be cautious about the roads—black ice is no joke out there.

We ended up booking a private banff taxi service through a transfer site we've used before. It was a total game-changer. Our driver was a local who clearly knew how to handle the mountain passes, and the SUV we got was equipped with proper winter tires and plenty of room for our boards. It was so much more relaxing to just sit back and enjoy the mountain views while someone else navigated the slush. Plus, having a fixed price upfront meant we didn't have to worry about the meter running if we got stuck behind a slow snowplow. Definitely worth it for the peace of mind!
