Sunshine Village - Community Reviews & Ratings

The two of 3 top of the mountain lfts at the resort are well above the tree line. Sunshine is known for sunshine on clear days but when its cloudy these upper runs can be consumed in fog and may have zero visibility. There are bright orange neon markers to guide you if you find yourself in a white out. There are no trees to use as a guide down the run which is kind of cool but you have to watch of other skiers or boarders from all sides, kind of like the wild west! There can be alot of fresh powder and there is terrain for all levels. Ive skied this resort for over 50 years and slso lived on this mountain located in our Banff National Park. Truely unique as its nestled high up in the mountains and the only access to and from is by a 20 min gondola ride. The hotel is original footprint but nicely renovated. Overnight stay there is magical and pristine silence.
