Sunshine has since added two new high speed quads, welcome replacements of two slow chairs. On my 1995 visit a patroller pointed proudly to an area I thought was just inconceivably steep to risk opening to skiers. The Canadians responsible for getting that gnarly area open to the public sport less trepidation than I. Severe terrain on the Great Divide Steep skiers will applaud what Sunshine Village has done for in-bounds adventure. The Canadian Parks Service closed Delirium Dive in the 1981 season, primarily due to the expense of avalanche control and rescue services. After developing Goat's Eye in the early 1990's, Sunshine Village started looking into the possibility of re-opening Delirium Dive and also assumed responsibility for avalanche control at the same time.
Delirium offers unique terrain, exciting front country extreme skiing and boarding.
With common sense and shared responsibility, today's advanced users will be able to enjoy extreme terrain for the ultimate adventure skiing and snowboarding. The area will open in January. The other is a state of uncontrollably wild excitement, or emotion. Both these certainly hold true when referring to Delirium Dive. Nobody in Canada is managing terrain like this.
