Sun Peaks Resort Reviews

Sun Peaks is not for powder hounds, it is for speed freaks. Look down a perfectly groomed run, there is no one on it, go as fast as you want.

Great for families with a wide variety of terrain with almost no lift lines. We've been here the past three years and really enjoy the mountain and, even on peak weeks, the lift lines are almost non existent. If you like well groomed long cruising runs, it doesn't get better than this. The only draw back is the lack of challenging double black diamonds. Great little village at the base of the mountain with a solid variety of shops and restaurants.

• Lots of awesome cruising runs
• Limited expert terrain - if you're looking for challenging double black diamonds, this is not the right place for you

I recommend it

• True ski-in/ski-out access. Excellent snow conditions. The village at the foot of the mountain offers several services. The staff are friendly and easy to reach, even if our English is limited.

Fantastic snow conditions, great variety for intermediate skiers and good options for advanced skiers. Empty slopes, well groomed runs, virtually no queues - for us, who’ve skied in Europe, Colorado and NZ this offered the best conditions by a long way. Very enjoyable.

After learning to ski in New Zealand over two brief seasons and paying an arm and a leg for congested, short, icy runs I was blown away with Sun Peaks. I went there on a friend's recommendation and was not disappointed. Lots of Aussies and Kiwis there, I guess because they know a good thing when they see it. I am frankly stunned at some of the comments here about the lack of variety. I guess its all relative isn't it? I am an intermediate skier and Sun Peaks was absolutely perfect for me. There is a bit of everything there - skiing through the trees, off piste, but most of all, large empty beautiful blue groomers. The best for getting your skill level up. So if you're a pro, then yeah, maybe best to head over to Kicking horse or Revelstoke. For the rest of us, this place is perfect, no queues, large areas to learn to carve and then plenty of blacks to progress to eventually when I get good enough. Apres ski? Yeah well its not Europe, but there is more than enough there for us older folk. Couple of very decent pubs, Japanese, Italian and Western style restaurants, and a couple really good cafes to grab a hot coffee in between sessions. Everything I want - I'll be back this year for sure.

• Excellent groomers, great all-around ski resort
• Fairly limited restaurant selections maybe

Sun Peaks is a beautiful resort in BC, underrated. You have to ski this place a lot to learn where the good stuff is. Tips is if you can walk a few 100 metres you ll have fresh pow almost guaranteed, just don't say it too loud. Villahe is quaint, folks are friendly, and its a great destination for families. I would add that summer and biking is starting to get a name there! Enjoy 4500 acres of terrain with no lines!

• Variety of terrain, simple terrain Backcountry great for intro, solid village vibe, no lines
• I d say no huge parties but that's ok and can stay in whistler.

Just a bunch of intermediate and beginner runs. Food is very bad. really should just be a local resort, not a destination. Large yes, but that is like a huge buffet with all the trays holding potato dishes.

• Very Flat
• Even Flatter

I have skied all over B.C. and can't believe how underrated Sun Peaks is. Great terrain including lots of black runs, great slack country, and an awesome village with friendly staff. Just don't tell anyone!

• excellelnt variety of terrian including easy acess to slack country . No lift lines, great ski in ski out and awesome village
• can't think of any

I went here for a week in 2021. A lot of hype regarding the 2nd largest resort in Canada. It's mostly beginner & intermediate terrain. Very little advanced & expert terrain. Also an antiquated lift system for the size of the resort. Limited dining options in the base village. Also it's hard to get to. It's an all day trek from the US. For skiing in Canada I much more prefer Whistler, Revi or Kicking Horse. Whistler is crowded but lots of lifts & infrastructure there. Also it's easy to get to flying into Vancouver.

Sun peaks is great for families,
