Francois Durocher Review of Sun Peaks Resort
For a skier ... simply FABULOUS ... for skiing and...
For a skier ... simply FABULOUS ... for skiing and for the exceptional welcome.
Ski slopes for "all" levels from beginners to crazy experts. The ski area is immense, the 2nd in Canada in terms of extent ... 4 mountains. The highest slope climbs you to 2,078 meters above sea level. A descent from the summit is approximately 3 to 5 kilometers. A full day of skiing, if your legs allow it, can easily mean 30 to 50 kilometers of downhill . The lifts are fast and during my little busy stay ... at worst on a Saturday, it took me less than 4 minutes to access the lift; on weekdays, less than a minute the vast majority of the time.
Sun Peaks Village is small, but good with restaurants and shops. But for groceries, you will resort to a grocery transport service which for $ 26 will travel the 58 kilometers to pick up your purchases online at the local Kamloops grocery store. There is a convenience store in the village, but it is more expensive and the variety is less interesting. The $ 26 for transportation is worth it for a long stay.
Ms. Nancy Green, a former Olympic ski champion, is now the Sun Peaks champion. Nancy Green's weekly lecture is an exceptional introduction to the ski area and the village of Sun Peaks.
You will learn, among other things, that:
At the beginning of and in the afternoon, local people offer to guide themselves on the ski slopes according to your level as a skier.
The village which has about 800 permanent inhabitants and a primary school where all the students are skiers or snowboarders, because the school is on a ski slope.
FABULOUS
