Choosing Your Sunshine Super Card

Choose the Sunshine Super Card That's Right for You

For the winter season, we offer three Sunshine Super Card options. Each card includes the same free ski days and lift ticket discounts, the difference is simply how you access and use your card.

Explore the options below to find the Super Card that best fits your skiing and riding style.

Important Information: All Sunshine Super Card sales are final and non-refundable.

Best For: Guests who want the convenience of skipping the ticket window and heading straight to the gondola.

Mobile Digital Super Card

The Mobile / Direct-to-Lift Sunshine Super Card links directly to your credit card, allowing you to bypass the ticket window at Banff Sunshine and go directly to the lifts. You'll receive all the same free days and discounts as a traditional Super Card, with the added convenience of direct-to-lift access.

When you purchase a Mobile or Direct-to-Lift Super Card, a unique code will be emailed to you automatically. You can either:

  • Add the card to the Banff Sunshine Village App for mobile access, or
  • Visit Guest Services to exchange your code for a Direct-to-Lift hard-copy card.

Please note: Direct-to-Lift access is available at Banff Sunshine only. When visiting partner resorts, you will need to visit Guest Services to obtain your lift ticket.

Best For: Guests who prefer a physical card while still enjoying direct-to-lift convenience.

Direct-to-Lift Hard Copy Super Card

The Direct-to-Lift hard-copy card looks like a season pass and saves you time linking your Sunshine Super Card directly to your credit card. It automatically tracks your visits and applies eligible free days and discounts at Banff Sunshine and participating partner resorts. Choose between a digital card in the Banff Sunshine Village App or a Direct-to-Lift hard-copy card.

As with the mobile option, direct-to-lift access is available at Banff Sunshine only. Guests visiting partner resorts will need to check in with Guest Services to receive their ticket.

Show your card at any ticket window or Guest Services location on the mountain and have an incredible day at Sunshine.

You can purchase your Classic Super Card at any participating Sobey's, Safeway, AMA Travel, Sport Chek or your favorite ski & snowboard shop.
