Beautiful May 1st bluebird. Not bad coverage, but pretty slushy by end of day. The ski out is completely bare at the bottom, so I’m pretty sure that was closed.

Banff Sunshine Village sits inside Banff National Park in Alberta, about a 20-minute drive from the town of Banff, and spans three mountains—Mount Standish, Lookout Mountain, and Goat’s Eye—straddling the Continental Divide. A member of the SkiBig3 group (with Lake Louise and Mt. Norquay), Sunshine typically averages roughly 9 m / 30 ft of natural snowfall each season and runs one of Canada’s longest ski seasons, usually November through May. On the hill you’ll find about 3,358 acres of skiable terrain, 12 lifts, and 137 named trails, spread across beginner, intermediate, and advanced/expert difficulty levels.
Families appreciate the dedicated learning zones on Standish and Strawberry, on-mountain dining, and the convenience of slopeside stays at Sunshine Mountain Lodge; cruisers lap wide, above-treeline groomers with sweeping Rockies views; and experts can challenge themselves (when open) in Delirium Dive, an in-bounds, expert-only freeride zone that requires avalanche gear and a partner. With high-elevation snow, varied terrain across three distinct peaks, and that rare combination of big-mountain scenery and straightforward access from Banff, Sunshine delivers a compelling mix of convenience and adventure that keeps skiers and riders coming back.
