Sunshine Village
|
|
|
From Banff you have an easy 16 km drive to the oldest ski resort in Canada, with its all pure natural snow. The Goat´s Eye Mountain is a terrain for advanced skier, here you find wide deep-snow runs. Sunshine Village offers you the choice of different lifts to choose from. The best way is to take the Angel High Speed Quad and then the Continental Divide High Speed Quad up to the Lookout Mountain, with 2,730 m the highest point at Sunshine Village and on the way to the top you go a short piece through British Columbia with the quad. At Lookout Mountain you can ski the "Delirium Dive", an expert run, but you must register at the patrol, before you ski this run. At Mt. Standish you have the Strawberry Triple Chair, especially for beginners and the new high speed quad Mount Standish Express which opens up easy to advanced runs. To ski down to the valley, just take the short quad Jackrabbit (back to Goat´s Eye Mountain, too). There is also the top station from the high speed quad Wolverine Express, which starts at the middle station. The valley run, called "Banff Avenue" is a very long and flat way back to the base station...
Together with Ski Banff@Norquay and Lake Louise, Sunshine Village forms one giant resort with over 200 km of runs (124 miles) and over 7,700 acres of skiable area.
Sunshine Village is located in Banff National Park in the heart of the Canadian Rockies and is only a 1 hour 30 minutes drive west of Calgary on a well-maintained 4-lane highway. The access road is clearly sign posted from Highway #1. Renting a car provides you with extra flexibility and can be good value for families and small groups. Most major car rental companies have a location at Calgary International Airport and there are also locations in Banff and Canmore. Alternatively, Rocky Mountain Sky Shuttle provides regular service to and from the Calgary International Airport to Banff.
