When is slush cup at sunshine

YOU wear short-shorts! It IS happening, and you WILL regret your life choices once nighttime falls and your skin is radiating its very own blaring red heat and light source. Sunshine Mountain Lodge , the only hotel up in the Village area, is open for one last night of the winter season just for Slush Cup.

So, why not skip the mad dash for the last gondola off the mountain at PM, give your designated driver the night off, and book a room at the lodge? Trappers does shut up shop after the Slush Cup festivities are finished, but, if you stay up on the mountain for the night, the Chimney Corner restaurant within the hotel will be open for food and drinks until late.

Slush Cup. All awards were much deserved. Surprisingly, there were only four female competitors this time around. When all was said and done, we bid farewell and jumped aboard the gondola to make our way down to the base of the mountain.

As the gondola moved along the line, we were amazed at how quickly the snow had melted. Just three weeks ago was prime skiing conditions and now the ski-out run was being driven down by trucks. As tired as we were from the day, we looked out through the gondola windows at the stunning scenery around us with birds singing in the background and realized just how special Sunshine Village really is at any time of the year.

If you happen to be in Banff around the third weekend of May, make sure you make it up to Sunshine Village whether or not you strap on the skis or a snowboard. Interested in checking out Sunshine Village? Click here to go to their website. For more things to do in Alberta , click the link.
