The Skiers' Guide to Sun Peaks

Sunpeaks has great groomed runs, some challenging terrain and excellent uphill capacity. Highly recommend for a family ski holiday!

I bought my day ticket online to save a few bucks.
It was Feb 6 2025 with beautiful sunshine but a very cold morning.
Reportedly there was not as much snow as normal but I wouldn't have noticed.
Conditions were good. There were no lines.
All was fine and had a great day.
Turns out a movie was also being filmed in the village that day.
Friendly people.

Just 3-4 hours away from Vancouver. Totally worth a visit. I was there between Christmas and New Years Eve and there was almost no line up at the chairlifts. The daypass is much cheaper than Whistler.

Sun Peaks Resort is a great place to visit. The mountain offers lots of terrain that make it a great choice for a multiple day visit. Whether you are looking for park, trees, advanced runs, or groomed runs, Sun Peaks provides it all. One of my favourite resorts in Western Canada.

Great atmosphere vibe with the best groomed slopes. Family friendly ski hill with a small village community feel. Wonderful restaurants, bars & apres ski. Highly recommend.

Absolutely brilliant tree lined skiing on Canada's second largest ski area. You can take a different line down the same runs through the trees and it's like a completely different run. Night life a bit quiet, but some quality food. Ski in/out to your door.

Great place to escape the British crowds during the half term weeks its a little pricey to get there but well worth the money the food is superb. The hospitality excellent and the pistes are the best groomed youll ever see.

Sun Peaks is kind of out there, but that's what makes it great, no lines! And it's big too, second biggest resort in Canada behind Whistler which help it feel like there's no one else there. The mountain biking in the summer is top notch as well. Go both seasons to really experience this place.

When me and my boyfriend go visit my cousins we always go to sun peaks. They teach snowboarding there. It's our favorite resort in Canada

have been going for years and for a smaller scale resort its the perfect place , for an extremely advanced rider you could discover the whole of the three mountains in about 3 days but it never gets boring

Excellent terrain for beginner to advanced. Short lines. Good quality of snow. And great family friendly resort with lots of appropriate terrain for beginners and additional activities for non-skiers/snowboarders. Food and Beverage experiences lacking. Apres and night life experiences are available sometimes but lacking consistency.

Wonderful resort, although pricey.

The terrain is mainly groomed with a few places to go off-piste or moguls, some park. Tough snow conditions past couple of years but I mainly ski packed groom runs anyway.

Beautiful resort just outside of Kamloops, BC
Modern infrastructure. There is night skiing as well .
Less expensive than Whistler.
Fewer crowds but still offers excellent dining options
Accommodation is very reasonable in comparison to other resorts

Great resort. Three mountains, every green run groomed overnight, 70% of blue runs groomed overnight, 10% black runs groomed overnight. All accomodation is ski in/out. No crowds, no lift queues mid week; small crowds, small lift lines on weekends. Mountain staff are very friendly. Snow quality great as it does get cold. When it snows, it seems to dump. Village a bit small with limited bars and restaurants. Lift infrastructure could do with some upgrades as there are many older slower chairs. All in all a great resort if you are after a ski mountain, but dont expect lively bars or night life.

Fun mountain, good blue cruising runs. Mountain top can be fogged out but other lower zones have good cruising. More of a family area, not much to challenge a skier looking for deep snow or cliff jumping videos

One of the best resorts for families, lots of easier terrain, but with a bit of exploring you can find some more demanding off pist terrain with a short hike to gils favorite spots;)

Great place flattering to my ski style. Lots of great wide runs down the slopes and the village is true ski in ski out.

I loved staying at sun peaks! Had a great time there with my entire extended family, all of my little cousins had a blast was super family friendly and the green runs were perfect. Loved the terrain park with the massive hill jumps, I would reccomend going to get a candy apple at Rocky Mountain chocolate! I suffered from an injury the first time we went and the first aid staff was helpful and attentive.

Great groomed skiing. Not super busy. Would be great for familys. Most of the mountain feeds down to one place. The restaurants are pretty good. The sushi restaurant in the village is fantastic. Fairly quiet Apres but the skiing makes up for it.

Sun Peaks is the hot BC destination for powder and groomed runs-- winning best groomers multiple times. The village is charming and cozy, there are always great activities on for kids and families, and the extras, snowshoeing and x-country, are world class. We love skiing SP, especially love the varied terrain and the snow quality. The lifties and snow school instructors are awesome, and the whole ski resort seems like its run by happy folks who love to share snow sports with visitors. SP is my favorite ski destination in BC
