If you are going out that way I would have to say I prefer the Lake Louise park more. There's 3 parks all under one lift line, yes two are small but they all look together. Sunshine just had one and a fuck load of skiing flat shit to get to it. At least at Louise you can jib your way down between parks

Can verify. There is really great alpine and tree skiing- you can get in some high speed turns on wide open terrain and playful skiing on natural features in the same run. Park there is fun, but access to it isn't great and there usually aren't any large features.

Obligatory Whistler recommendation

The Banff area is the next best
