a vast majority of people who work there have a horrible attitude. last year on opening day, cracked a joke to a lifty, he took it completely the wrong way and wouldnt let me go up. same day, last run, went into the park, all the features were crossed off with the poles or whatever, so i ducked under the rope to hit another run, cause whats the point of riding through the park if you cant hit anything? park staff douche bags were sitting around and almost seemed to pick a fight with us for something completely ridiculous. also lost my gloves, asked a staff member to direct me to the lost and found, told me there was no lost and found. i later that season found my gloves in the lost and found. there have been other just little incidents like this and it makes me assume everyone there is ignorant and unhappy and just there for the money, like its a job and not their passion to ski or snowboard.

and just t omake it official:

Hey Sunshine Buddies! After much debate, we have decided to postpone our Opening Day to Nov. 18. We want to have a solid base for all of you to ski and ride on, and we're not quite there yet. We will open with Standish, Strawberry and Wawa running for our Opening Day. Sorry to dissapoint those of you who were planning ...on making the trek, but it's just one more week.See More Yesterday at 11:30am · Comment ·LikeUnlike · View Feedback (36)Hide Feedback (36)

Fair enough, sounds like you've had some bad experiences there, I guess a lot of those are the guys who come into Banff for the season just to party and aren't really in it for the skiing or boarding.

I hope sunshines park is good this year, they had fun stuff last year, they just need to learn how to set stuff up. Longer landings on their big jump line would be nice and better jumps onto rails (super kicky jumps on to rails suck) would also be a big improvement. Oh and that gay channel gap could be set up so much better. It could actually be really sick and not just a park eye sore that's funny to mach 10 into once and awhile to make its flat landing.

YES! longer landings are key!

They could easily make a sick true table type jump in the bottom park that would be really fun, and it would use less snow that the stupid transfer thing, or do a fun little 2 jump line like they did 2 years ago, but please, longer landings this year sunshine!

Yea no kidding, half the reason you need so much speed is because it's way to far into the flats. They could make a sick 60 (dare I say 70) foot table or step over there and you wouldn't need to skip everythiong thing in the lower section if that moved the whole jump set up up hill a bit.

2 lifts open on opening day? If last year was a gong show when standish, wolverine and jackrabbit where open then this year might be a double gong show.

UPDATE 12 p.m.: Greater than expected snowfalls this week mean that Sunshine Village will be able to open a fifth lift by midday Friday.

The Standish high-speed quad is expected to open by noon, joining the NEW Strawberry Express high-speed, and WaWa, Wolverine and Jack Rabbit quads, which are scheduled to open at 9 a.m. That brings the total number of accessible runs to 35 for an epic opening day.

Even better: Reduced prices for opening day will be in effect.

Skiers and riders are advised to use extra caution on opening day. Unmarked natural hazards do exist.

Mother Nature has delivered in spades the last three days, delivering 41 cm of fresh pow. That brings the snow pack on Thursday to 72 cm, and still building

*FIST PUMP*

Anyone else going tomorrow?
