A teenage snowboarder was taken to the hospital in serious but stable condition after a crash with a snowmobile on March 14, 2026, at Banff Sunshine Village in Alberta. The accident happened at approximately 1 p.m. near the top of the Banff Ave. ski run, in an area located just below the WaWa lift.
