Accurately named, British Columbia’s Sun Peaks Resort basks in over 2000 hours of sunshine each year, with its three mountains covered in trails that stream down to the village.

Almost entirely ski in, ski out, the village was created with convenience in mind, and they’ve done a brilliant job. Lifts are dotted at either end, and a bus loops the whole place in half an hour. A handful of hotels take centre position, with condos and chalets making up the bulk of other accommodation.

Everything’s built in European style, with chalet-like buildings painted in pastel blues, pinks and apricots.

Getting here’s a breeze, with Kamloops airport just an hour away which has daily connections from Vancouver and Calgary. Daily shuttles serve Kamloops and also Kelowna Airport.

It all began in the sixties, with the opening of the Burfield Lodge and its single chairlift. The place has grown with millions of dollars of investment, introducing state of the art snowmaking, a smooth-running lift system and fantastic facilities for skiers.

The nearest airport to Sun Peaks is Kamloops at 60 km or about 45 minutes by car.

What's the ski area like in Sun Peaks?

Before the aspirational Sun Peaks was named as we know it today, the area was known as Tod Mountain, after the highest and biggest of the mountains trio you can ski here. Together with Mt. Sundance and Morrisey, Tod forms the second biggest ski area in Canada - and it’s almost as diverse as it is enormous.

Starting off, there’s 4270 acres of skiable terrain and 135 runs; nearly 60% blue graded, with a decent amount of expert runs to provide challenges and enough beginner slopes to have learners turning confidently in no time (we love the Learning Zone by the Sunburst Express). The green 5 mile piste on Tod Mountain is the longest in the area, and a dream to ski whether it’s the end of your first week or you’ve been skiing for donkey’s years. Confident skiers and snowboarders can try the Three Mountain Tour, which covers 27km of the best runs of the area (maps are usually available from Guest Services).

Last time we checked there was a free guiding service which runs for any level and is a cracking way to get to know the area and meet others. Even without the guidance of a local, the whole area is a breeze to navigate with all runs leading back to the village.

With a yearly average of six metres of powder, two alpine bowls and 16 gladed areas, the off piste offerings are excellent. Cross country skiers are far from forgotten with just under 40km of trails. Nor are park rats, who have a 10 acre park to play on containing every kind of jump, box and rail you could dream of.

Whether your little ones are spending their days in the Sundance Kids Centre learning with the Sun Tots and Sun Kids ski schools, or enjoying the mountains with you – there’s so much for families in Sun Peaks that many return year after year. We love how close-by everything is, to the point that sprogs can roam free on the pistes and snow tube slope while grownups watch with a cuppa from the nearest sun terrace metres away.

Three mountains and all manner of terrain make Sun Peaks brilliant for mixed ability groups. There’s plenty off the mountains too, from the friendly bars to the weird and wonderful activities available – Segway tours, snowbikes, you name it.
