In past seasons skiers and snowboarders that dress as their favourite characters in full costume (head-to-boots). In past seasons those doing so have enjoyed a discounted lift ticket but whilst the event has been confirmed, it's not clear if that's the case this year. There have also been Star wars themed food served in mountain restaurants. <br /> <br /> Then tomorrow, on May 5th, it's a Cinco de Mayo celebration at Banff Sunshine with tacos and tequila promised as the Canadian ski area makes a fast switch for Tatooine to Mexico. <br /> <br /> Sunshine is one of three areas still open in Canada, along with Whistler and Quebec's Sommet St Sauveur. It's upper base is still at 2.5m and it reported last week its cumulative snowfall total had hit 990cm, just one storm away from reaching a record breaking 10 metres in a season. <br /> https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/21570/163862.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/21570/163862.page Mon, 4 May 2026 07:28:45 GMT
