Speaking as someone who moved away from the Rockies a few years ago and misses them dearly- GO TO SUNSHINE!!
It's an awesome hill, maybe not the best out there for learning snowboarding, but still a riot. The gondola, the scenery...
And if she's just learning, she'll welcome a little wait/breather in the lineups and you guys might not be going full out anyways. IE/ less runs total than if you were, say, with your snowboarding buddies. Stop in Banff for some quick shopping, dinner on the way back.
Yeah, Sunshine. But again, this is coming from a guy who misses the Rockies and has only been to Castle a couple times (it will probably be slammed also- don't kid yourself). Just get up early, get there early, and beat the crowd home if you can. Best way to handle it.
