Shred the Joy! 4 Terrain Parks now Open.

At Banff Sunshine, 4 out of our 5 Terrain Parks are now open!

It’s not quite Christmas yet, but that hasn’t stopped Mother Nature from spoiling us with an abundance of Canada’s Best Snow. Thanks to her benevolence, our mountain operations team has been able to open Goat’s Eye and Delirium Dive; and our terrain park team has been able to get 4 of our 5 terrain parks built. 

In case you were wondering, yes! This is the earliest to date that we have been able to open our Divide Park and our Spring Hill Parks. As of December 11^th, 2020, we at Banff Sunshine now have our Spring Hill, Great Divide, Strawberry and Kids Play Park’s open for you to trick out to your heart’s content.  

All of our terrain parks have been designed to help you progress your skills. As the season is still young we encourage you to start small as you work to get your park legs back. Once comfortable, move on up and start learning some new tricks.

If you are new to parks, we recommend starting small by getting comfortable on the beginner features in our Strawberry park or in our Kids Play Park before graduating to the larger features of our Spring Hill Park or Great Divide Park.
