Facilities & Services
The village of Sunshine has fairly limited amenities, but these are adequate considering that the majority of visitors are day-trippers. There are a few dining options at the base and on-mountain, some shops, an equipment rental service, child care facilities and a general store. There are lockers available at the creekside restaurant for day use, and you can also store skis or boards overnight.
Eating On Mountain There is an eatery at the base, with all other dining options being truly ski-in ski-out in the village. The day lodge has a cafeteria, there are other delis and restaurants, but our favourite was the Java Lift coffee shop, with great coffee and internet access. It’s on the ground floor of the Sunshine Inn. See also our food and nightlife page.
Facilities for ChildrenThe
Tiny Tiger Daycare centre is in the village next to the WaWa chair, and offers child care for 19 months to 6 year olds. The care can include ski or snowboard lessons. For aged 6-12,
Kids Campus have snow school programs designed especially for kids.
For those having lessons and staying at Sunshine Inn, there’s also an evening program for children aged 6-12. The activities run Monday to Thursday evenings including casino nights, movies, garbage bag sliding, other games and karaoke.
Sunshine Ski School The ski and board school have lots of programs for kids and adults, including group and private lessons, and camps. They don’t have the standard 2 hour group lesson, but rather provide full day classes that are small in size. As an indication of cost, for ability levels 2-3 it costs $134 for a full day group session (includes lunch). For more advanced riders, it costs slightly more. The ski and snowboard school desk is located in the Old Sunshine Lodge.
Equipment Rental At Sunshine village, they love Salomon gear, and hopefully you do too. There’s a rental shop in the base area, and a rental and demo area in the upper village next to the Angel Express quad chair. They also hire snow bikes.
The rental shops also provide equipment repair.
