Sunshine Village is known for its light fluffy power - more than 30 feet per year or 100% natural snow -- no snowmaking is required due to the elevation of 7,082 feet.

The Sunshine Inn is Banff's only ski-in/ski-out hotel. A full service 85-room hotel, offering fine dining, fireplace lounge, sauna, and giant outdoor hot pool. The town of Banff, 16 km (10 miles) away offers a variety of accommodation to suit every need.
