Banff Sunshine Village is renowned for its extended spring skiing season in the Canadian Rockies, and recently, the company announced its annual Untracked Concert Series. These events strike a balance between live music and the excitement of alpine sports.
The Untracked Concert Series is sponsored by Coors Light and welcomes exclusively Canadian artists. For example, Edmonton’s 'Scenic Route to Alaska' will kickstart the event series and perform twice daily on weekends at the Trapper’s Snow Garden. To increase the hype of the Untracked Concert Series, Banff Sunshine Village also undertakes a thematic approach to its events and offers discounted lift tickets to attendees who dress according to weekly themes.
The inclusion of family-friendly après-ski activities and the ski-in, ski-out convenience of Sunshine Mountain Lodge caters to both adventure seekers and leisure travelers.
