I arrived in Calgary late evening yesterday and drove up to Canmore, where it rained all night then I raced up to Sunshine early this morning, which reported 18 cm/about seven inches. I’d call that accurate, though it was often deeper (or at the top of the mountain blown clean by the wind). I started at 8:45 and bagged really soft, mostly untracked laps for the first three hours, then nice leftovers and powder bumps until 3:45 when my legs gave out.
I guess I didn’t perform enough due diligence, but Sunshine was a lot better than I had expected There was a nice selection of terrain, from wide open alpine to lots of tree shots from mid-mountain on down. Even with a pretty big crowd today, the longest I waited for a chair was three minutes (they’ve got lots of HSQs). They were bombing Delirium Dive in the morning and opened it in the afternoon. I’m looking forward to going back tomorrow and seeing how Sunshine skis without the crowds. Hopefully, we’ll get another refill of powder.
Low-angle pow to start off the day.
Lots of shots like this throughout the morning.

Interesting trail names on Goat’s Eye
End of day
