Some of the softest, lightest powder in the Rockies can be found at Sunshine Village, far above the hustle and bustle of the valley below. After a short ride from Banff, skiers hop on Sunshine's new eight passenger high-speed gondola to access stunning upper alpine terrain with thousands of vertical feet of wide-open bowls and treed runs carved through the forest. For the extreme skier, Delirium Dive offers an unique front-country experience. Sunshine Village also offers the only on-mountain accommodations in Banff National Park and services including pubs, lounges, dining, live entertainment and day care. High-speed quads dominate the three different mountain faces available to skiers and Goat's Eye Mountain serves up intermediate runs and a few surprises for those who like it steep and deep. With close to 30 feet of snow each year and the longest season in the Rockies, Sunshine Village's 100 per cent natural snow is renowned throughout the world earning a Snow Country magazine rating for 'Canada's Best Snow'.
