Sunshine Village Reviews & Ratings

I love sunshine village I am a seasons pass holder, the conditions this year have been incredible. If you’re thinking of booking a trip I highly recommend

I love learning and I decided before I was 30 I was going to snowboard.
The bunny hill is not the best and can get a little crowded but the environment of sunshine is sooo unique and beautiful and fun!
A chair lift, and short hike and you’re in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. The staff is friendly, the ride in the gondola is romantic and fun, the views are incredible; parking is chaotic a little but all around wonderful.

There's a reason families love it! It's super busy with kids so do watch out, but it's a decent place for dragging your beginner friends (like me) along. The hot food section isn't half bad, prices are somewhat reasonable for food? Just the only issue is if you want to bring your own food too, they won't let you bring your bags in AT ALL. There's literally a lady straight up blocking you if you have any kind of bag with you from going upstairs, even if you're just trying to buy food. I literally had to bring my cafeteria tray out all the way outside into this random heated tent just so I could eat with the rest of my friends. The lifts are not bad for lineups, although it definitely feels like much shorter runs than say lake Louise

Lots of bowls for skiing
Early season so not all runs open
Signage could have been clearer
Parking was easy

Sunshine Village has quite a lot of fresh snow this year, which is reflected in the quality of the tracks. I like that skiers and snowboarders can change tracks as they please and easily return. Beautiful views and some of the chairs are heated, which I appreciated during the colder spells.

Good hill but needs more apres ski vibes everything is fairly expensive as well but options are limited in the area

Great mountain, it’s got lots of terrain to cover, and of all experience levels.
The only downfall is a lot of flats which make it a bit harder for snowboarders

Awesome snow weekdays are best less crowds the snow is awesome and places to eat are ok best to pack your own food and beers

It was the second day of the season they were open! The vibes were high, the conditions were great, the lines were short, the trees were epic and all around it was a great time!

It was a blue bird day, the mountains were visible, truly beautiful and open. Between two mountains, BC and Alberta. There is runs for all ski levels and on 2 different sides. Very good area for beginners. My friends took lessons and loved it. You can go off piste :). Lifts are accessible and runs are very open. Apres ski not really a thing.

Recommend for skiing 1 day.

Great snow super early start of the season and everyone is friendly and helpful so there isn’t anything bad to say

I love going to sunshine village. I love the variety of runs and just getting out with my friends. I love goats eye

Just an all around good ski resort. Plenty of terrain of varying degrees of difficulty, lots of vertical, multiple terrain parks, awesome cliffs, some really great stuff.

Compared to my old "home mountain" of tremblant the lines are no where near as busy!
Solid amount of snow
Happy to be there

I lived in Banff for a season and would head up to Sunshine 2/3 times a week.
Sunshine is really huge, a great range of runs and I hardly ever experienced lift lines. Even on busy days such as Easter Monday you don’t queue for even half the time you would at some resorts in France, The food and drink is also a lot cheaper in Canadian resorts compared to the Alps however, still pricey.
Due to Banff being such a high resort you can still get dumps and excellent snow quality late into the season, as late as May!
The only things I would say is the Apres ski and after ski parties are not the resort’s strong suit, it’s more family friendly. However, the nightlife in Banff town is unmatched and it can be an excellent social place. There’s a huge range of restaurants and bars at various price points in the town, however accommodation and groceries can be expensive.
There is also a drawback in that the town is about a 15/20min drive from the ski resort and then you have to get a gondola up so can take an hour to actually get skiing. There is an on-mountain hotel but I picture this is pricey and you’re beholden to the gondola times as to when you can go up and down the mountain to get the bus to the town.
Overall, not the most convenient ski-in/ski-out resort but Banff is a town that everyone should visit. You can make it very cost effective and the ski resort is big and varied for riders no matter their experience. What’s more is if you’re in Banff for the week you can take a 40 min bus to the Lake Louise ski area (HIGHLY recommended)

Had a great pow day, new super angle is nice, beers at trappers are great. Always a good time and snow has been dumping the last week or so

Brilliant views, guaranteed blue bird days and always powder to be found. Great parks and awesome expert back country terrain

Spent a few seasons here, love sunshine. bring a lunch the prices are really expensive but there’s too much fun to be had. my favourite ski out too!

This hill was absolutely stunning with views are outstanding. It was such an amazing experience. I would go back in an instant.

Sunshine is awesome - great show, great views, excellent staff. Only an hour from our house, we’re lucky to be so close to Canadas best snow.
