What Skiers Say About Sun Peaks

Sun Peaks attracts primarily intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders, with families being a significant visitor group. Reviewers consistently highlight the large terrain spread across three mountains, minimal lift queues even during peak periods, and exceptionally well-groomed runs. The resort is described as quiet and uncrowded compared to other BC destinations, with a small pedestrian village offering ski-in/ski-out accommodation. Common criticisms centre on limited restaurant options requiring advance booking, lack of vibrant nightlife or après-ski atmosphere, and variable snow conditions with some seasons experiencing rain or thin coverage. Several users note the resort can feel over-groomed for those seeking powder.

The resort has many runs for all different ski types. The lifts take you all over the mountain so you don’t have to do a lot of walking. The ski resort was design designed by skier Nancy Green rain so it’s really well laid out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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;)

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.
