At Banff Sunshine, we are located high in the Canadian Rockies, giving our resort uninterrupted mountain views, amplified by sunshine!  

To make the most of your visit to Banff Sunshine carving up Canada's Best Snow, we have created a list of our favorite runs at the resort.

Here are 3 Green Runs that are proof you can get amazing views on any run:  

1. Meadow Park – To access this longer scenic run take a lookers right off the Wawa Quad Chair. While you are working your way over to the run look to your left to check out where some skiers have hiked to reward themselves with fresh turns.   

2. Prune Pickers Pass – Another one of our cruiser green runs can be accessed by taking a lookers right from the top of Standish Express.  

3. Rock Isle Road - Unloading off our beginner chair, Strawberry Express, will take you right to this lift. As you move straight, away from the lift you will be presented with jaw-dropping views.
