Sunshine Village is participating in the Restrictions Exemption Program. Proof of vaccination or negative Covid test is required to access the lifts and facilities on the hill, and masks (not buffs or neck warmers) must be worn at all times while inside buildings and on the gondola. Please visit Ski Banff for more information.

This trip is intended for all levels of skiers and boarders.

Things to note for this trip:
* there will be no official carpool
* members can set up their own ride-shares if they wish
* the event will begin at 8:45 a.m. at the hill
* meeting place: the firepit at the gondola base

We will meet as a group at 8:45 a.m. dressed and ready to head up the hill. We will start with a few warmup runs on Wolverine and then sort ourselves into smaller leveled groups, meeting up for lunch later in the morning. Bags can be stowed on the racks inside the warm up tent while you ski / ride. Feel free to bring or buy your lunch. There's a new food truck and BeaverTails by Goats Eye now!
