Very diverse amount of runs from groomed to back country, getting there around 7:30am helps to get a parking spot not so far away. Great food and drink options. Great lifts and great staff

Overall, the runs at Sunshine Village were fantastic. I was with a big group and there were solid options for every level, which kept things fun all day. The staff were helpful and friendly, the food options were great, the views were unreal, and I’m already looking forward to coming back soon.

Went for a birthday trip with my sister right after they got 30cm of snow overnight. A little foggy in the morning off of the great divide chair so decided to stick mainly to goats eye to do some tree skiing. Some trees on standish as well. Overall a great day. Fairly pricey so we got the Sunshine Super Card to save some money on a lift ticket.

Had a sweet first trip to the Banff Canmore area. Great accommodations around. Little bit of every terrain at sunshine. Plenty to do.

I had a bit of a hard time learning to ski there. But I didn't take a lesson. There are lots of beginner runs I stuck to, and that's a good thing for skiers like me. As I progress, there are nice blues that are also good to learn on.

As a beginner for my first time snowboarding on mountains I had a great experience. It was beautiful and it was easy to navigate. My friend stayed in the lodge as I went out and her and I were still able to have a great day together. I would recommend this ski hill to beginners as it was fantastic for my first time out West. It was a great stepping stone for me, and is also fantastic for families.

Have tried to make it out to either Banff or Whistler each spring with the family, and Sunshine is always my fav out of the resorts in the area. Though there’s not much nightlife (need to go into the actual town of Banff for that), the epic views and terrain make up for that!

Sunshine Village offers huge, world-class terrain spread across three interconnected mountains, with runs on both the Alberta and British Columbia sides of the Continental Divide. The mountain is especially celebrated for its long season (mid-November to late May), reliable snow, and breathtaking alpine scenery

Overall, it was really great. The only thing is that they don't have any way of like checking bags or anything to go into the main lodge so no bags in the food court area, unlike LL

Great resort! Very busy lodge and a massive lunch time rush but it’s worth it for the great skiing.

First time at Sunshine after moving to Alberta and first time out this season. What a first Rockies experience it was had an unreal day, went on a Monday! The groomers were well kept and resort has countless runs for an intermediate skier like myself and the blacks I went on pushed me to progress. Tons of terrain to ski and if you haven’t been, there’s a reason it’s a famous destination. About 15 minutes from downtown Banff.

Windy. Not really much sunshine. That ski out run was pretty cool. Never did that before. Would go back for just that.
