    To celebrate the early opening, Banff Sunshine Village invited guests to show their love for the Blue Jays by wearing a jersey or celebrating the spooky season with a Halloween costume. The Banff Sunshine Village team was onsite handing out $10 vouchers to those in costume or showing their Jays’ spirit. Over 100 vouchers were given away to happy skiers and snowboarders.

    Located in Banff National Park, Banff Sunshine Village is known for having one of North America’s longest ski season. Just last week, Banff Sunshine was named SKI magazine’s Top 30 Resorts in the West and number 2 overall in the magazine prestigious reader’s poll for the second year in a roll.

  • The Coolest Party in the Canadian Rockies, Slush Cup Monday, May 19th, 2025!

    [ad_1]


    BANFF, Alberta, May 19, 2025 (Newswire.com)
    –
    For nearly a century, Banff Sunshine Village has celebrated the end of the ski season with a “water ski, or pond skim.” The resort is credited to being the North American birthplace for pond skimming. It’s believed the tradition was started by two friends, Cyril Paris and Peter White, back in 1928. The two were enjoying a spring ski, when they came upon the resorts infamous run, ‘waterfall.’ One supposedly dared the other to ski the water run and the rest is now history. Legend has it, the first pond skimmer on record at Sunshine Village dates back to 1928.

    At Banff Sunshine, what started as a friendly dare, has morphed and grown from a campy staff event, to a three-day festival that builds up to the Rockies coolest party, Slush Cup. This year’s Slush Cup is happening Monday, May 19th at Banff Sunshine.

    “You know, winter is who we are. As the snow melts, we want to throw a proper goodbye party for our favorite season-winter,” says Ralph Scurfield, CEO of Banff Sunshine Village. “Our goal is to each year throw a bigger and better Slush Cup party.”

    This year marks the resort’s 95thSlush Cup (it would be 97, but COVID happened.) For the 95thSlush Cup, the Canadian Resort has invited the University of Calgary Artistic Swim Team to perform the first splash of the event. Following the synchronized swimmers performance, the first contestant will attempt to hit the Slush Cup jump and skim across the 110 ft pool of snow cold melt water. Last year, 100 competitors competed for the crown of Mr. & Ms. Slush Cup.

    “If you love winter fun as much as we do, this is your invite to join us on for a fun-filled weekend at Banff Sunshine,” Says Scurfield.

    The resort is encouraging guests to embrace the theme, Disco Snow Angel. For participants daring enough to attempt the legendary Slush Cup, the resort encourages all guest to arrive at the Village Sprung Tent early, as registration opens at 8 AM on May 19th, 2025.

    For guests hoping to partake in the festivities, access to the Slush Cup festivities is FREE with a Sunshine Season Pass, Spring Pass, lift ticket or sightseeing ticket.

    About Banff Sunshine Village: 
    Known for its all-natural snow, skiers and riders visit the premier alpine resort during its seven-month-long winter ski season, spanning from early November to late May. Starting late June, summer blooms up at Banff Sunshine Meadows, as Alberta’s natural wildflowers paint hundreds of untouched and preserved acres with a vibrant and colorful landscape. From skiing and riding on Canada’s Best Snow in the winter to hiking the Sunshine Meadows during the summer, Banff Sunshine is the ultimate year-round destination for nature enthusiasts. The fully serviced Canadian Rockies resort is open November 8, 2024, for winter operations.
