Banff Sunshine Village, AB, Report: Beautiful Location, Big-Mountain Feel & Diverse Terrain - %
"Located just 15-20 minutes from downtown Banff, the adventure begins at the Gondola Base. Eight passengers at a time ascend 1,650 vertical feet over roughly three miles in about 20 minutes. Along the way are stunning views in every direction. There are three stations along the way - a mid-line directional change, the Goat's Eye offload, and finally the upper village terminal."
"A glance at the trail map reveals Sunshine's defining feature: three distinct mountains shaping the experience-Goat's Eye Mountain, Lookout Mountain, and Mt. Standish. Each has its own character, giving the resort a surprisingly expansive feel."
"The gondola spins at 8:00 a.m., lifts turn at 9:00 a.m., so early risers are rewarded with prime corduroy and quiet lift lines. Because the gondola ride takes time, get there for an early ride and then position yourself for a first chair."
