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.

Mountain size is awesome, terrain diversity is lacking off piste get lame after mid season (my local hill). Great family hill, terrain park kids says is a blast, ski school and staff are amazing everywhere and a full service village (almost) makes it easy to stay in.

Sun Peaks is a special hill for our family. We spent many seasons travelling over to ski with family and have so many amazing memories. I especially love the Green Door laps on a pow day or flying through Kahilty Glades finding fresh stashes of powder.

The food options are plentiful at Sun Peaks as well. Everything from Pachos and Burritos at 540 to more sophisticated fare at some of the more intimate restaurants. Whatever you palette desires, be sure to have a loaded hot chocolate at Bolacco's!

We have stayed at the the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel, rented a condo and stayed at The Fireside lodge. The Fireside is by far our favorite accommodation. It is just tucked away across the road from the main parking lot so you aren't too far away. The staff are really personable, the rooms are great and you get a nice buffet breakfast each morning.

Skiing at Sun Peaks is always consistent and we rarely find ourselves waiting in long lines. The drive up from Kamloops is short and easy too. Sun Peaks is always a resort we visit each season.

There is a lot of ski able terrain with short lines to get back on the chair. Have rode here for three seasons now, and still finding new areas of the mountain to explore every year. Great hill for all levels of riders with something to offer for all.

SunPeaks ski resort offers excellent runs for all levels of skiing️ ️. Ski school offers excellent ski instructors for skiers and snowboards of all levels of ability in a private or group lessons.
Lifts are fast with SunDance Express lift offering my favourite runs of the day - 5 mile, Rambler and Nancy Green plus dropping off to go onto blue runs. Morrisey Express lift offers great blue runs skiing through trees which is fun for all ages.
Apre ski was a little different from Europe as it only had one restaurant on the mountain at Sunburst Lodge offering lots of delicious food but cinnamon buns with a hot drink first thing is a must and a portion of Poutine fries with gravy are a must for lunch!
Skiing in Canada for my first time was truly an amazing incredible experience.

Sun peaksbis one of my favorites. The terrain is amazing unless you want to ski double blacks only. The doubles aren't up there with the WB, Revvy, Kicking Horse or Fernie but it's snow is reliable and holds up so well. 10cms on Monday can still be found in powder stashes on Saturday. Off-piste in Gils is just amazing and never crowded. Actually that goes for the whole resort. Steeps, moguls, tress it's all good. No lineups here at BC's 2nd largest resort.

Great resort for beginners. We had 2 days of ski school which were a great start to our week on the slopes. Instructors were quite strict but that was what we needed and helped us learn quickly before being let loose for the rest of the week.
We loved five mile as we didnt feel we were in anyones way as its soooo wide and spacious.
The sticks on mt. morrisey was another favourite as an introduction to skiing through trees.
Never had a long wait for ski lifts and all of team sun peaks were so friendly and helpful.
There are so many food options in the village itself and everything is so reasonably priced.
We would go back to sun peaks in a heartbeat (just wish it was closer to UK).

Lovely friendly resort . Always lots of groomed runs for all abilities. Great cafe at top of the mountain that both skiers and non skiers can enjoy lunch together. Lots of choices for apres ski and food in town. For kids ski school is great fun even adult lessons are fun.

This resort is a little difficult to get to but well worth the effort to get there. Being the second largest ski resort in Canada it has lots to offer and virtually NO lift lines. The snow quality is excellent and its a cruisers paradise with grooming second to none. Great ski in ski out accommodations. The base village has everything youll need for a week or a month with all of the basic necessities plus a great selection of restaurants.
Try it once and it likely wont be your last visit.

Sadly 2024 , snow arrived after we left, otherwise great runs and great efforts from mountain teams. Mountain offers some slops for all caliber of skiers.
Backcountry seems to be a lot of potential but during our stay, not enough snow

We thought this was a great resort,quiet for its size with lots of runs and short lift lines.
The runs are varied and particularly the pisted areas we're really good when we were there. The resort had okay options for food and drink but not a big apres scene. We would happily go back, it's really well suited to a range of abilities. A particular bonus is every lift having a green,blue and black from the top so you don't reallt have to think too hard where to go!

Great family vacation spot. Snow is fairly consistent.

Lots of variety, and spots to explore.

People spread out well, so even on a busy day, it forms feel crowded.

Weve been going to Sun Peaks for Spring Break for the past 10 years. This year was certainly a different year for snow and the resort did the best they could with what Mother Nature provided. Some mornings we had to take the Sunburst Chair up so we could take advantage of the world famous cinnamon buns and barista coffee while waiting for the groomers to soften up. We normally spend a lot of time in the trees and powder - but not this time. We didnt do too many of the washing machine runs on the Morrisey side either - but usually these mogul runs are great! Looking forward to the new West Side Chair next year!

Sun Peaks is a great family resort with a small baravian village feel with a good selection of local shops and restaurants to choose from. Lifts are not busy at most times of the year and the grooming is excellent every day. If you are looking to get away from the crowds of other resorts it is a perfect choice for a 3 day weekend in the BC interior.
