Sun Peaks is an impressive European-inspired village nestled in its own fairytale setting, a 45-minute-drive north of Kamloops in British Columbia.  

Sun Peaks is British Columbia’s second largest all-seasons resort, offering 122 runs, 1,471 hectares (3,678 acres) of terrain, 3 mountains to choose from and a true ski-in/ski-out village.  

Reported to have over 2,000 hours of sunshine a year and an average snowfall of 5.6metres (18feet), Sun Peaks Resort is one of Canada’s finest year-round resorts. Olympic Gold Medalist Nancy Greene is the Director of Skiing and Ambassador for Sun Peaks Resort.  

Ski Sun Peaks and experience a wide range of terrain perfect for snow enthusiasts of all levels. For beginners, there are superb learning trails and a gentle 8 kilometre (5 mile) top-to-bottom green run. Intermediate-level skiers and snowboarders will be thrilled with Sundance Ridge for its pure cruising terrain, while those more advanced will pump plenty of adrenaline on the black runs.

Sun Peaks Ski Resort also has a great program of family events that varies throughout the winter. These include a 'Slopeside Movie Night', a 'Family Casino Night ' and a 'Mid-Mountain Dinner and Torchlight Descent'.

Kids and adults alike will love jumping aboard a giant grooming machine on a 45-minute run with the Snow Cat Driver. Another option is to experience back country skiiing or boarding on a day-long cat ski tour from Top of the World.

Kids can also try out a mini snowmobile, go ice skating at the open air rink or ride down the mountain on a cushion of air at the Tube Park.

Sun Peaks village is a fairyland at night when the lights twinkle and the snow hangs over the roof tops! But there’s much, much more. Try dogsledding or a horse-drawn buggy ride through the village, or you could even opt out for a while and pamper yourself with a soothing massage the resort's luxurious day spa.

And when you want a break, turn to the Sundance Club, which offers childcare for kids from 18 months to 5 years of age.
