Tourism Industry Voted Awards:

Best Canadian / North American Ski Resort
Banff/Lake Louise, Canada

Calgary's Child Magazine Parents Choice Award

Best Ski Area in Alberta
M.L. Ellen Percival, publisher of Calgary’s Child, commented about Sunshine’s recognition. ''You are among a special group of people in Calgary – a group dedicated to making a difference for families in our community. To be chosen by Calgary parents in this year’s 2006 Parents' Choice Awards is indeed an honour.''

The Daily Telegraph (UK)

•Banff Canada voted #2 by readers for best ski resort in the world(2005).

The 50 best ski resorts

•Banff Canada voted #5 out of 50 best places to ski this winter.

"A champagne lifestyle seems strangely out of sync with the friend town of Banff in the Canadian Rockies, an unspoilt ski area in the beautiful Banff National Park, where elk can be seen wandering the streets and the occasional moose moseys on down town. But luxury is provided in no small measure by high-quality hotels that include the world famous five-star Fairmont Banff Springs and the five-star Rimrock luxury hotel, with spa treatments, steaming outdoor pools and hot tubs, and relaxing chill-out lounges."
