Sunshine Village ski resort:
“I have just stayed in Banff with my family and skied at Sunshine so thought I would share some feedback. We normally ski twice a year in Europe (France/Italy/Austria) so have experienced numerous different resorts.
Positives - the natural snow cover and condition of the pistes was very good. The variety of runs was good, something for all abilities. Having most runs lead to the central village was convenient for easily meeting up. The food and drink was basic, but not expensive.
Negatives - Mostly by comparison to European resorts - The lift passes are very, very expensive. The lifts are mainly very old and slow with no footrests or covers. Fast modern covered and heated lifts are common in Europe, where it is usually much less cold.
The bus service from Banff is terrible, really terrible. In Europe the ski bus is one every 10 minutes in the morning 8am to 10 am and from 3pm - 5pm. Here it's one every hour or so. Consequently, large queues build up at the bus stop (in minus 28 when we were there) and the bus cannot take all the queue, so you wait for another bus, sometimes again. On arrival at the lift station, the car park is huge (not surprising people prefer to drive as there are not enough buses). How poor for the environment is that?
Then as all the buses arrive at a similar time the queue for the gondola is huge as well. This was a considerable waste of skiing time and a very poor experience.
Overall, we had a good time and really liked Banff, Sunshine and Lake Louise. A few improvements to the bus service and the lifts would make the whole experience much better.”

Bad Gastein ski resort:
“Having paid E1250 for three weekly passes for Bad Gastein, it was only by accident we discovered that the Grauogel side lifts had permanently closed in 2025, taking out 7 ski runs.
The only remaining lifts out of Bad Gastei are now a short two man chair (serving a short blue beginner slope) and a double double on the Stubnerkogel side.
From the half-way point on the bubble there is only one way down via a narrow, glassy blue run with some challenging reverse-camber corners littered with petrified beginners and overun with oafish boy-racers. From about 14.30 onwards it is absolutely rammed and impossible to find a rhythm or a line.
It is difficult and slow to access the Angertal side in poor conditions and only one lift back up. There is a single, brutalist-design restaurant at the foot of the B16 on the Bad Gastein side, and a scruffy cash-only bar by the ski school playing oompah music; no apres-ski scene on the slopes. Two decent alpine restaurant below the mid station, but once more you are then committed to the Only Way Down (B16), which even my daring daughter vetoed after doing it once and being taken out by an out-of-control beginner.
I cannot recommend this resort for really any level of skier even in good conditions. Only two lifts, poorly designed, a single demanding blue that has to take everyone home in the afternoon.”

Bansko ski resort:
“Bansko is a place with huge natural potential when the snow is good, the freeride can be genuinely enjoyable. The mountain itself deserves better.
The core issue, in my view, is structural. The resort has expanded aggressively, with a massive number of hotels and beds built over the years, but the ski area and lift infrastructure have not grown proportionally. The result is a clear imbalance between accommodation capacity and mountain capacity.
That’s why you see extreme morning congestion at the gondola, overcrowded slopes at peak times, and a generally stressed experience during high season. It feels like the focus has been on rapid construction and short-term returns rather than sustainable resort planning.
Food and beverage prices are also very high even compared to France, which is my usual winter destination and don’t always match the level of service provided.
It’s disappointing because Bansko could be a truly strong destination in the Balkans. The terrain has potential. But without proper capacity planning, infrastructure expansion, and long-term strategy prioritizing quality over volume, the visitor experience will continue to suffer.”
