I enjoyed the Speed Skiing event at Sun Peaks recently. People think it is a crazy sport, but overall it is a fun filled safe event for strong skiers - a huge addrenalin rush. On the downside, there are no big peaks to take away your breath, but the cruising runs are great.

My wife and I made a return winter trip to Sun Peaks back in March 2007 (my second and my wifes third). We simply cannot imagine a better place for a skiing holiday. it may not have the late night wild nightclub atmosphere of other resorts but that's not we travel thousands of miles each year to experience. Would a Canadian come to Australia and not go to the beach ?!?
There's plenty of variable terrain from the roller coaster glade runs of Mt Morrisey to the "where did the rest of the world go" back country feel of Mt Tod, especially off the Burfield Chair and West bowl T-Bar.

We stayed at the Delta and cannot fault it in anyway at all. Don't plan on losing any weight while your here though as the restaruants are some of the best in the region and eating out every night becomes an obsession.

As a side note, don't ignore Sunpeaks as a summer holiday destination aswell. We had a one night stop over there a few years ago and regretted not being able to stay longer. Most ski resort look untidy and barren in Summer, not Sunpeaks !

We have already started planning our 2008 trip !

The best ski experience I've had, bar none. The resort is definitely family oriented, so if you are looking for loud partying roaming through the villiage you won't find it here, even though there are some great restraunt/lounges where energetic 20/30 crowd can do their things. Once you experience the dry cold climate and snow, you'll never want to ski the heavy wet stuff that exists in pacific coast resorts such as Whistler or Mount Baker. Every single person I have met on the chairs who tried Sun Peaks last season, coming from Whistler, said they would never go back and planned on returning only to Sun Peaks.
