Sunshine Village is a go-to resort for anything!
Starting with the resort staff and the instructing staff, all of them seem happy, upbeat and there is always fun going on at Sunshine. When theres a holiday or special occasion, youll know about it!
No skill level is left out. The slope selection is amazing! If youre a beginner theres plenty of fun to be had, even with nice easy tree runs. If your an expert, enjoy the off piste and the double diamond selections, which are most often covered with the best of Canadas snow.
The resort has long runs, small runs, and fun runs all of which make for a perfect ski day!
The food and drink options are good, however if Apres Ski is your skiing motivation you may have to wait until the slush cup or other events to fully take advantage of that.
Ive done a season at Sunshine Village and visited with family and friends for years and years. The resort never disappoints.

Love the place & tucked at the border of Alberta & BC so the snow is always good, but you need to take the gondola to reach the resort which provides a perfect view for the surrounding mountains.

Sunshine has the best snow quality in the Alberta Bow Valley. We enjoy skiing at Sunshine 3 to 5 times a year on top of the twice weekly skiing we do at other mountains. The variety in terrain, variety in lifts, expansive ski runs and high quality ski instruction makes this our favorite mountain in western Canada! At the beginning and end of the season, Sunshine is often the only viable skiing option as theyre quick to get their base built up and are often blessed with huge dumps of fresh snow on a regular basis. Often, when we sign up for a group ski lesson for our 6 and 9 year old (who are ski racers), they end up getting all day private lessons and an exclusive tour of the mountain, making them that much more passionate about skiing. The adults enjoy the lodge for its food and beverage options that is ever-evolving. Sunshines coffee offering recently got upgraded to Monogram coffee (our favorite roaster) as well!
