Sun Peaks is Canada's second-largest resort, boasting 4,270 acres across three mountains.

The pedestrian village is compact, charming, and entirely ski-in/ski-out.
The most convenient access to Sun Peaks is via Kamloops Airport (YKA), which is a short 45-minute transfer away and offers seasonal direct flights. This provides a significantly shorter transfer time compared to driving from Vancouver.
All three mountains at Sun Peaks offer extensive groomed intermediate terrain. The Sunburst Express on Sundance mountain is particularly noted for its long, sun-drenched groomers, perfect for cruising.
Beginners will find excellent, wide, and gentle terrain on Mt. Tod. The uncrowded slopes mean new skiers can learn without the stress of dodging traffic, providing a serene environment for progression.
Sun Peaks is an outstanding choice for families. The pedestrian, car-free village offers a safe and uncrowded environment. Kids' programmes are available for children from 18 months old, providing excellent childcare options.
