With more snow piling up and excitement building across Banff National Park, Sunshine's early opening makes it the first ski resort in Canada to start the season. Anticipation was built all week long with forecasts calling for up to 20 centimeters (8 inches) of fresh powdery snow for Sunday morning."
"Eager skiers and snowboarders arrived bright and early in Halloween costumes and Blue Jays Jerseys, and the Banff Sunshine Gondola started spinning at 8:00 a.m. You could hear the excitement in the crowd as people anticipated the first chair. By 9:00 a.m., the Strawberry Express Quad and Mitey Mike Conveyer Lift opened up. Strawberry Terrain Park had seven features, and guests had access to early-season favorites like Boutry's Bowl and Rock Ilse Road."
