Snow fences go up at Banff Sunshine with the first snowfall in mid-October.
- Role: subject
- In the article: Banff Sunshine spans 3,300 acres across three mountains and has no nearby water source, so its terrain relies solely on farmed snow. Five-foot fences catch snow, then the snow is spread into open terrain. Even at 7,200 feet it is seeing cyclical snowfall.
- Why it matters: It shows snow farming as the only option rather than a choice, and it carries the climate-risk point.
