Skiing Sunshine Village

Published on Mar, 2024

Took a tour of the ski area with snow Host Fred H. He was awesome, so informative and a great guide! Highly recommend using the Snow hosts as a means to gets feel for the ski area

Mountain Tour

Published on Feb, 2024

It was my first time skiing at Sunshine Village and took a Mountain Tour with David (old man) that's what he waned us to call him. He was an 82 year old guide that was an excellent skier and had so much knowledge of the history of the resort. He knew where he should take us for our ability and snow conditions. He was a delight and an excellent ambassador for the resort. Highly recommend taking a mountain tour if it's your first time there.

Excellent ski tour

Published on Feb, 2024

31st January was my second ski tour at Banff Sunshine. I have already reviewed my 26th January tour and, because of this, TripAdvisor won't let me leave a second review under Banff Sunshine, even though it was a separate tour. Therefore I am leaving it under Banff Gondola. If Banff Gondola people pick this up, please can you pass it to Banff Sunshine tour people. Our 31st January tour was a great experience, led by Karen Irvine and backed up by Quinn Andrew. They saved us the bother of finding our way around, by expertly guiding us on a logical route round the mountains, catching the best runs for the moving weather. They gauged the pace just right for the party. This is an amazing service - I can't believe it is provided without charge. Thank you.

I want to go back again.

The Ski classes were fun and I learn a lot with the instructor (Mark) . The place its awesome. Except for the food, its not so good and its expensive. But all the personal was really kind.

Great experience. Go hike the meadows and lakes!

Published on Nov, 2023

Great views. Great hike! Gondola ride was longer than expected and very enjoyable. Not crowded and reasonable cost.
