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.

Lovely resort! We stayed with friends for 3 weeks so experienced a range of conditions.
We loved how quiet the slopes were - we are used to skiing in the French alps so this was amazing!
A good variety of beginner runs and great views.
The village had a nice variety of bars and restaurants.
Everyone was very friendly! I also had 3 amazing ski instructors and learnt so much.

Sun Peaks was a great resort , I worked here for a season and was a new rider, I have since learned skills through lessons with the skills school. Also being able to get on the lifts within 20 mins even at the height of holiday season is a massive bonus. The food and drink establishments are varied and good quality, friendly people and great staff. Over 70 different runs across the mountains with variations of level and terrain as well as fun resort events year round.

SunPeaks is a great resort for the whole family. The village has lots of food options, hotels, limited stores - but everything you need groceries, liquor and sport store. There are many other activities to part-take in such as snow shoeing, dog sledding, hiking and tubing. There is 3 mountains to ski - all offer various levels, lots of snow and powder.

Great quiet resort with amazing terrain. New chair added this year, plenty of glades to find powder. Bushwhacker glades was my favorite part and would repeat the crystal chair all day.

Excellent experience at Sun peaks. For an intermediate/ advanced skier, able to ski pretty much anywhere. Some really great runs and excellent mountain hosts. Many options for dining out, although most restaurants are not suitable for extremely large groups.

This is our favourite ski resort in BC.. Huge amount of terrain, super family friendly and fun for everyone. Lots of fresh powder to be found. Love the quieter less-busy Morrisey area when the snow is fresh!

Absolutely a fantastic resort with an amazing number of slopes/runs and never ever busy - very minimal wait times of only a few minutes at the base during high season (Christmas and February Family day long weekend). Offers an abundance of ski-in/out accommodation.
A variety of winter activities.
A charming and homely family resort with great atmosphere. No apres ski place for young folks who want to party.
A nice selection of restaurants in the village centre.
Huge number Nordic and cross country runs!

I love sun peaks. A picturesque village with so much terrain to be explored. If you know where to go you can find all sorts of different runs. With many lifts, and a new one just added, theres lots to explore. Extremely family friendly, with a good nightlife for the locals. This is the place to be if you like wide open groomers.
