Sunshine Village Reviews & Ratings

Honestly one of the best places I've ridden, so many choices of runs to take. Spent a lot of time finding tree lines and new routes, plenty of untouched powder. Great resort overall

A nice friendly Canadian resort with ample terrain to ski. When the snow hits there it seems to be endless powder and great terrain to surf through. Unfortunately when the snow isn't as prominent you have to be far more technical avoiding rocks and trees. The day lodge and food are good but a bit costly. The parking area is decent with easy ingress and egress from the resort.

Unique treasure in a Canadian National Park. Variety and excitement for all riders.

Blessed with a rare powder day in May it's not uncommon to have late season storms keeping this mountain active for weeks deeper into a season that's eneded most other places.

The Great Divide trail at the top provides access to alpine riding. Venture to the left and you'll find freestyle terrain, to the right you'll find tree riding and technical steeps. Following the right aspect you can brave the Delirium Dive and test your off piste prowess. Continue the fall line and you will eventually get to Goat's Eye, and entirely different playground favouring free riding and technical lines. Going to the left of The Great Divide you end up passing by snow parks and funneling back to the village where bars and restaurants the hub which everyone knows is Trappers.

On this other side of the main resort is Standish and Strawberry lifts. The terrain accessed here is less steep and but has some fun features to discover. Drops and tree lines become natural fun. It's worth noting that as a snowboarder you can get caught in the flats at the top of Wawa. Beware!

End the day by riding the trails under the gondola and enjoy magnificent views of Mount Bourgeau. End the day with a night out in the town of Banff and it's easy to see why this area is under conservation.

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.

Great place to ski and board. Range of trails. Quick lifts. Decent food prices. Rental shop is efficient.

such a lovely resort many nice people and good ski runs for all abilities, good night life and a lot of activities including trips

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.

Always an amazing time at Sunshine! Incredible, beautifully groomed runs, many options for all skill levels. The staff are the best and the vibes can’t be beat.

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!

Great vibes and unreal mountains. There is a huge variety of terrain and every skill level can find something fun to ride.

Great resort for all skill levels with beautiful views and unbelievable terrain all around the mountain

Great mountain for skiing not so much for snowboards alot of traversing. snow conditions are good, expect wind

Amazing ski resort overall, tons of great runs amazing views and good routes, would recommend checking out

I’ve been going to sunshine for decades, I love it there. It’s close to Calgary and has great vibes, if you catch it on a snow day, best day ever

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.
