Banff Sunshine

Banff Sunshine, also called Sunshine Village, is a major ski resort in the Canadian Rockies on the Continental Divide, spanning Banff National Park and Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park. Known for heavy snowfall and a long season, it spreads across three mountains with extensive terrain, a high-elevation village, and gondola access that also serves summer visitors. The area was traveled by explorers in the nineteenth century and grew as a tourist destination after the railway reached Banff. Skiing began there in 1929, expanded through the Brewsters and later owners, and the resort has since modernized, hosted international events, and balanced growth with its protected national park setting.
