Sunshine Village has the Banff area's only slopeside lodging, featuring a small, high-mountain village surrounded by ski slopes. To reach the village (cars are prohibited), skiers and snowboarders ride a six- passenger gondola from the parking lot. Skiing began back in 1928 in the vast Sunshine Village bowl, which offers all levels of terrain. Today, Goat's Eye Mountain supplements this snow-sure aerie. Served by the world's fastest high-speed chairlift and boasting some of North America's most surefire challenging terrain, Goat's Eye has put Sunshine on the map.
