Located in the heart of beautiful British Columbia, Sun Peaks is a short 45-minute transfer from Kamloops airport. Approaching the resort, the landscape drastically changes from an arid desert landscape, to the lush, pine forests of this spectacular alpine bear country. The location cultivates unique weather patterns which deliver dry powder snow to Sun Peaks Resort. The average winter temperature hovers around -5C, meaning the snow is unlikely to melt and refreeze, leaving you with a delightful light, dry snowpack. Sun Peaks boasts the most sunny days per year of any ski resort in British Columbia, meaning you can just about bank on getting those perfect blue bird ski days in!

Sun Peaks was a purpose designed ski resort, modelled off ideal European ski resort characteristics. Sun Peaks boasts ski in ski out accommodation and a pedestrian only village which is sun drenched by day and fairy lit by night. With the village tucked safely in the valley, it is almost completely surrounded by ski resort. Sun Peaks boasts a mix of terrain for all abilities, cruisers and groomers, the steep and deep, glade trees and powder stashes. Sun Peaks is the resort you wish you found years ago!

Sun Peaks offers a wide range of accommodation choices for skiers and snowboarders to enjoy. Friendly lodges welcome guests needing a place to rest after a long (probably sunny) day on the mountain or if you prefer, enjoy the convenience of a hotel with all the amenities. Larger groups, families and friends can enjoy a condo or townhouse all to themselves, a convenient home away from home for their ski holiday. No matter your accommodation choice, you will be ideally located to the slopes and all that Sun Peaks Resort has to offer.

Offering you the second largest skiable terrain in Canada, the surrounding peaks of Mt Tod, Sundance, Morrisey and Orient have been thoughtfully designed to bring skiers back to Sun Peaks Village. The 4270 acres of skiable terrain offer beginner, intermediate and advanced runs on each peak, so groups of mixed skiing and snowboarding abilities can ride the lifts together, and still ski their preferred terrain to their hearts content.

On foot, one plank or two planks (AKA snowboard or skis for those at the back). Sun Peaks is a walkable ski resort, remember to pack those après boots! If your legs have turned to jelly after a long day on the slopes though, there is a local village shuttle to get around the hotels and restaurants.

Sun Peaks offers a huge range of activities for when you are not skiing or snowboarding; with no shortage of options, the trick is trying to fit everything in! All the classic Canadian winter experiences are on offer in Sun Peaks, like snowmobiling, dog sledding, fat biking, ice skating and snowshoeing. For something different, try the night-time snowshoe tour by torchlight which ends with s’mores by the fire!

Some more unique things to do in Sun Peaks include hanging out or skiing with Nancy Greene, she won Gold at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Chamrousse, and now delights in showcasing her winter home of Sun Peaks to visitors. Have a ski with her one day and just try to keep up!

Try your luck with a spot of ice fishing. Join your knowledgeable and passionate guide Campbell on this unique Sun Peaks experience. He will provide all the gear you need to get started, and even gut and clean your catch, and even give you a recipe to cook it up for dinner!

A Canadian must-do activity is catching a game of ice hockey, tickets and a round-trip bus ride to Kamloops can be pre-booked to meet the schedule.

With an extensive area of cross country or Nordic trails, so if you’ve never cross country skied before Sun Peaks is your chance to try. Ski straight from the village and test out how powerful your legs are. We think Nordic skiing is best experienced in head to toe lycra, so kit up!
