Pure Powder Loves
√ The layout of the European-style ski-through village as it makes everything so easy.
√ The quietness of the resort as there are hardly ever any queues. At the base you have access to lots of different lifts so wait time is minimum.
Things to consider
– Sun Peaks is largely family-centric so make sure that you don’t have high expectations for a vibrant party scene.
– Sun Peaks only sees an average of 6 metres per season and the snow typically comes in small amounts per storm, rather than big dumps. The lowish snowfall volume is a downside however the upside is that powder seekers don’t come out in force so there’s not much competition for fresh tracks.
