SUNSHINE VILLAGE STILL OPEN UNTIL MAY 19TH!

 
RIDERS AT SUNSHINE VILLAGE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SPRING CONDITIONS!
The ski/snowboard season is definitely winding down but there is still some epic riding to be had in Banff. Sunshine Village has reported almost 20cm's of fresh snow in the last 7 days and more is on the way! With all the interior resorts closed for the season, this is one of your last opportunities to get some riding in before the snow is gone for another year!

Not only is there great riding to be had, but the mountain is also hosting a few free concerts with those with lift tickets for the day! Check out George Canyon on May 3rd and 4th and Aaron Pritchett May 10th and 11th!

To make the deal EVEN sweeter, SameSun Banff is offering a single day lift pass and dorm bed for an unbelievable $97 CAD per person with taxes included! Get your fill of riding this season, before it's all over!
