Banff Sunshine - South Divide to Piste Noir to Highway One

South Divide (29) to Piste Noir (108) to Highway One (38) is a ski run of varying difficulty located at Banff Sunshine Village. The trails run from the top of the Great Divide Express Quad, near the summit of Lookout Mountain, down to the bottom of the chairlift. The run begins to the slight skier's left of the top of the lift on South Divide, an intermediate trail that features a moderate wide-open pitch as it begins straight down the mountain. At the bottom of the trail, the run continues straight onto Piste Noir, an advanced trail that begins with a steep drop and then gently continues through a wide-open bowl area. The run then continues straight onto Highway One, a short intermediate trial that begins with a short drop, followed by a flat section before arriving at the bottom of the Great Divide Express Quad.

Banff Sunshine Village Ski Resort is a ski resort located near Banff, Alberta. The resort is mostly located in Banff National Park in Western Alberta, with small portions of the ski area extending into Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in Eastern British Columbia. The ski area is located about a 20-minute drive southwest of the town of Banff and a 90-minute drive west of Calgary. The resort is spread out across three unique mountains: Goat's Eye Mountain, which features a mix of below and above tree-line skiing with steep advanced and long intermediate runs; Lookout Mountain which provides a variety of mostly above-treeline skiing; and Standish Mountain, the smallest of the three mountains that focuses on family-friendly above treeline terrain. Additionally, a small area between the three mountains, served by the Wolvernine and Jackrabbit lifts, offers additional family-friendly below treeline skiing terrain. The resort sits in a unique valley that is not accessible by car in the winter, with the only access to the base areas being provided by one large gondola with multiple stations. At the top of the gondola, the resort features a unique hotel, which offers the only ski-in ski-out accommodations in Banff National Park. The resort is owned by a local family and offers 7 days of access to Ikon Pass holders with its other SkiBig3 resort partners in Banff: Lake Louise and Mt Norquay.
