The Ski Bank

In the 1970s, Bank of Montreal was known to many as the “Ski Bank.” The bank was the presenting sponsor of Bank of Montreal International World Cup Skiing, bringing together the best skiers in the world to compete for the championship title. Canadian Olympian and world renowned skier Nancy Greene won the women’s World Cup two years in a row (1967-1968), and became the face of Bank of Montreal’s Ski Bank. The bank encouraged customers to get active in the cold winter months by offering a “Ski Account,” as well as affordable skiing packages and BMO-produced materials offering advice related to the sport.
