Sunshine Village Reviews & Ratings

Sunshine Village is such a fun resort! I had so much fun finding new terrain all day. I love the gondola that takes you from the parking lot to the top of the mountain. The views are so beautiful and you have the option to get off the gondola part way up. I recommend Sunshine village to anyone. There is terrain for everyone from beginner to expert and bonus the snow is amazing! You can ride from the top to the parking lot as well. Such a fun experience. 10/10

unlike Europe apres is not really so much of a thing in Canada. I cannot fault sunshine. Its all about the skiing. I loved this place so much. It wasnt over populated like we see on our European ski trips. It was chillled. The snow, the views and the people are amazing! Cant wait to go back.

Great view, getting to ride a gondola is a treat. It's a great place to improve and the downtown after riding is a treat as well. It's like going to a dreamland. Would 100% recommend.

We had a great two days at Sunshine village on our first ever visit. Our boys 11 and 6 loved it. I enjoyed the Jack Rabbit chairlift as a beginner, while my husband and the boys skied all three mountains but enjoyed Standish the most. The tents for eating and storing gear were super awesome. I hope to venture further up the mountain next time.

Ive been to Sunshine twice and both times it was overcast and cloudy. The top can be disorienting in the fog but the fancy heated chair lift made up for it. Theres only one small hotel in the resort and we couldnt get a room so we stayed in Banff which was also great. I have yet to see the stunning views as told by my husband. I still love Sunshine even though the dun wasnt shining on my two visits.

Sunshine Village is a great resort, featuring all types of terrain. Whether you like swift groomed runs, twisty moguls, or some bouncing jumps, Sunshine Village offers a wide selection.

Sunshine is a great resort thats close to Calgary and also in Banff. As someone from Calgary, it makes a great day trip or you can stay in Banff and enjoy lots of shopping, eating, and other activities. The resort itself is very nice and great value for money! You take a gondola up to 2 mountains, and then there are a variety of chair lifts (some heated) that take you up. The green runs are smooth and well kept, and the black runs are powdery with moguls and are a fun ride. You can also ride down to the village on a blue/green run instead of taking the gondola down. Its usually pretty crowded but its close to home and gets the job done!

Ski hill is amazing with 2 different mountains to ski. Stop at one on the gondola half way up. Second mountain at the top is definitley better for groomed runs and first stop is better for tree runs

Best value ski resort in Canada. I have been many times as a child and as an adult. Great fun for everyone.

Went here for 2 weeks, with a few friends that lived in Canada took a few snowboarding lessons but figured I preferred skiing, was a beautiful place to ski and reasonably priced

Sunshine is a can be extremely busy with it's close proximity to Calgary. It has plenty of varying terrain for all types of abilities. The gondola ride from the parking lot to the resort is an interesting experience. If you go on slower days it is well worth the trip.

This resort is usually busier as its closer to the city. Good runs. Multiple options for all skill levels. The village is open late for apres. Rentals arent the best quality for price point. There are a lot of flat parts. Overall good place to ski/snowboard.

Went for two days skiing 1st day on my own and I found everyone there really helpful in pointing me in the right direction for ski hire and amenities. I didnt have the queue for any lift and even though they were making snow for later in the season all the runs were perfect groomed. The food was good too little bit of a wait as there arent many options to eat but lots af variety and it was all hot and very filling. The 2nd day my wife had her first ever ski lesson and she loved it too the ski school and staff were super helpful and she went from never being on skis before to ending the day going down a green run. I would highly recommend.

You have to get there by gondola, then lots of skiing available with quick lifts. Pistes could do with Better snow-making when the conditions require it

Super friendly and warm staff, went in the early season so it wasnt quite packed. Nice variety of lifts all along the various peaks, but too many flats between mountain faces. Cant speak to off piste offerings as snow base wasnt quite thick enough for those to be skiable, but a great resort for families and tourists. Will be back!

Great resort with a wide range of runs. Not ideal for boarders are there are a few flatter traverse areas. But really amazing scenery. Needs a 20 min gondola up to resort/lifts which is a little annoying, especially getting parking at peak periods. But buses available from town.

Favorite mountain from the skibig3. Great open space in lookout mountain. Favourite run is the great divide. Amazing views. Lots to discover with many faces of mountains. One full day isnt enough to try everything. Great powder

As a 30-year-old snowboarder whos spent years chasing the best runs, Sunshine Village remains my favorite mountain. Its the combination of incredible terrain, reliable snow, and laid-back vibes that keeps me coming back season after season.

For advanced riders, the terrain is hard to beat. Delirium Dive is a must for anyone looking to push their limitsits steep, technical, and absolutely thrilling. Goats Eye Mountain is another highlight, especially The Shoulder, where you can find steep, fast lines and plenty of natural features to keep things exciting.

The snow quality at Sunshine is second to none. Thanks to its high elevation, the powder stays dry and light, even late in the season. Ill never forget a bluebird day last winter when I dropped into South Divide after an overnight snowfall. The runs were pristine, the snow was perfect, and the views of the Rockies made it all feel surreal.

Beyond the terrain, the vibe at Sunshine is what makes it special. From the friendly lifties to the chilled-out après scene at Mad Trappers, its a place where everyone feels welcome. The heated seats on the Teepee Town LX chair are a nice bonus, especially on cold days.

Sure, it can get busy on weekends, and the gondola ride down can be a bit of a pain, but those are small trade-offs for what you get: incredible riding, stunning views, and a place that feels like home.

If youre an advanced snowboarder looking for a resort that delivers on every front, Sunshine Village is where you want to be. Every trip reminds me why I love snowboarding.

Fantastic picture perfect mountain to ski on. Nice long slopes of different levels. Lifts are great! Hotel on hill fantastic!

The lift ticket and food prices are high. A Banff park pass must also be bought. Fun hill, great atmosphere, with lots of readily available lifts. Can be cold and windy.
