What to Expect on the Slopes

While resorts are nearing the end of their season, conditions are still holding up thanks to recent snowfall and cooler overnight temps. Expect soft turns in the afternoons, sunny skies, and that signature spring skiing atmosphere we all love. Banff Sunshine is open right through May Long Weekend, giving you even more time to enjoy those high alpine laps.
