if you hike out of bounds you can get in alot of shit beacuse its a provincial park. when warren miller came out here to film they went to the BC and started a small avalanch or something, then the provincal parks people made them pull the BC footage entirly from the film. so, no.

A lot of people will bash sunshine, and I'm not really sure why... In my opinion it has WAY better freeride terrain than Louise and usually smaller lineups. Delerium is the shit. So for park, no its not good, but for freeriding, best in AB, if you ask me.

its too short of a hill, granted delirium is amazing but its one fucken bowl and its only good after a good snow day. and even then 90% of the time there bombing it. Louise is better. bigger mountain, better park, WAY STEEPER THEN SUNSHINE, and if you go enough and learn where to hike to, a way better stash of BC booter stash or BC lines. But all in all go to FERNIE.

Louise does have shitty terrain. Only once have I enjoyed good skiing off of a run there. But their park is SICK!
Fernie is amazing for real.

I've had a pass there for 2 years.
Dude the snow is almost never good. I'm always afraid of wrecking myself on rocks that are hidden under 2 inches of snow.

I skei at sunshine and they have a pretty good park. if you know where to go then they also have some sweet terrain and huge cliffs. the best places too go are standish and t-pee town.

i don't think that sunshine has 'cliffs' that are even that huge, just 10- 20 footers is the biggest i have ever seen or done

Sunshine has some phatty's for sure, you just need to know where to go. The hotel cliff is pretty ill, and there are some ones that lead on to the canyon trail that are huge. The dive also have some monsters.

I agree with AK, the Canyon and the Hotel are the cream. The best thing about the hotel cliff is that you can see it from the bar (hotel) and drink beer until it looks like something you wanna flip off of...

I emailed them about the park and it's shittyness. They wrote back and said that 'a lot of people seem to like the park the way it is' which is without a half pipe, without any large tables, with 5-6 rails, and on a slope of like 15 degrees. Anyone else find that you have to straightline it from the top just to hit the one booter at the bottom of the park? How stupid is that?

I think Louise has sick terrain. They just don't have enough snow usually to actually ski most of it.
