Banff Sunshine Village says on its website that it plans to open Tuesday for summer skiing and riding and hopes to remain open until Sunday.

Kendra Scurfield, director of brand and communications, says thereBԪַs still a lot of snow at the resort after it received more than 900 centimetres this season.
