Banff - Entry 1

OK, so we made it safely to Banff. Banff is a beautiful town with great people, food, shops and views of some crazy rugged mountains. Sunshine is the locals hill and has some of the most amazing terrain I have ever seen! Soooo much in-bounds crazy stuff to hit up, cliffs, chutes, natural jibs (just like falls) and a ridiculous snowboard park. The park has 12 booters of various sizes, heaps of boxes and some real cool unique stuff like pyramids with like an in built swiss/fit ball on top (weird but fun). There is also this in-bounds area called Delerium Dive where you need full avalanche gear to enter. We are sourcing it later in the week. It's scary shit! Here's some pix and a couple clips.
This is the main street of Banff. if i waited another hour to take the photo it would have been all white!

Things are a bit backwards in Banff!

Cheap Nacho's! Mmmmm.....mexican!

The drive up to Sunshine. These things aren't scared of anything!
