The resort's Spring Concert Series, which will see six local bands entertain on-mountain guests, will take place every weekend from April 20th and 21th through May 18th and 19th.
This year's artists include returning favourites TR3, who bring their infectious dance music to the slopes and New Moon, to entertain with their reggae-influenced beats.
"Sunshine's Spring Concert Series is such a unique opportunity to indulge in Canada's best spring skiing while taking in an exciting musical lineup," begins Dave Riley, Chief Operating Officer, Sunshine Village Ski and Snowboard Resort.
