Sunshine Village Reviews & Ratings

Fun resort. Not too busy. Great for snow boarders. Beginners will have fun. Love the gondola ride from the parking lot and staff were very friendly. They had a tip cup with "Porsche Fund" written on it but they never save it; the staff use it to buy beers at the Rose & Crown after work. I love it. They work hard and we thought it was a great story.

If you can, go mid week to avoid lines. Try to get to the mountain early to avoid parking far from the gondola. Ensure you have a vehicle equipped to drive up a winter mountain road, though when we were there the roads were completely free of snow and ice. You are able to bring packed lunches but are only able to eat them in certain buildings. There is free outside shelves to leave your bags while you are out on the mountain. Keep in mind they are outside in the elements. The two heated and covered chairlifts are a nice retrieve from the elements on cold windy days. Many areas coming off the top of the lifts are open terrain with no tree coverage, make sure you have good goggles for low light conditions.

I love Sunshine, but do wish there were more tree runs since the resort is very busy.

There are al kinds of skill levels all over the ski hill, and it’s great for families with young children.

As a snowboarder, it’s a bit tough to figure out the flats unless you know it well.

By far my favourite resort everywhere. Coming from Ontario, I didn’t truly know what mountains were. My day at sunshine village changed my life, I will never forget it as long as I live

Sunshine village was a great time, lots of good terrain and amazing views. The staff at apres were a blast. I couldn't recommend more

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.

Wonderful, beautiful mountain!! We enjoyed every moment as a family of four. Ski school was amazing, and the kids are already begging to return. Their instructor, Ben. S was awesome!! The food was great, and even had gluten free options for my son and I who are celiac. 10/10 would recommend!!

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.
