Village |

|
 Experience an alpine playground of powder-filled bowls, perfectly groomed
cruising and steep-n-deep chutes of Canada’s highest elevated ski
resort.
For 80 years, Sunshine Village has been serving up what is usually only
found in skier’s and snowboarder’s dreams: endless mountain
terrain in the heart of an unspoiled wilderness.
Adrenaline addicts take note: Delirium Dive is a back-country bonanza of
deep snow and steep drops, the perfect challenge for extreme skiers and
riders.
Just a short drive from the town of Banff, Sunshine village is renowned
for it’s lengthy season from early November until late May, offering
over 3,300 acres of terrain with an average annual snowfall of over 30 feet!
The resort features 12 different lifts including five high speed quads and
a high speed gondola, three different mountains to explore, and the novel
opportunity to ski or ride in both the provinces of Alberta and British
Columbia on the same run.
