Sunshine Village is poised to receive more snow this week, along with the other SkiBig3 ski resorts; Mt. Norquay and Lake Louise. Hopefully this is all shaping up for a big snowfall winter and the ability to open more terrain in the Banff region soon.

Overall Mid-November is a big time for the ski industry as many resorts are operating for the first time this coming week. Major openings include Vail, Stowe and Grand Targhee all on November 16th. If you can’t wait any longer to start making turns for this season, the good news is you now have a lot more places open to visit.
