Sun Peaks is the best ski resort I ve ever been to. There are a wide variety of runs, ranging from beginner to expert, with a majority being in the intermediate range. The views are stunning, the slopes well maintained, and there are even boards at the top of each life to tell you which runs are groomed or not, updated daily. If you d looking to take a day off from skiing, you can participate in some of the many activities they have available, such as dog sledding, riding on one of the groomers while they groom the slopes, or you can have a meet and greet with Olympic champion Nancy Green (there s also an option to ski with her, a free tour and mini-lesson around the hill). One of the highlights of my stay was the Alpine Fondue & Starlight Descent, where we skied down with only the stars and a headlamp to guide us.

Another great thing about Sun Peaks is how friendly everyone is. I have not met a single person who isn t willing to help you if you need anything. This goes for both employees of the mountain and also fellow guests. It s a great sense of community you won t find anywhere else, especially not in the overcrowded and overpriced Whistler.

Speaking of Whistler, Sun Peaks base elevation is higher than Whistler, and therefore you get more consistent conditions throughout the mountain. I am extremely happy with my time here, and will certainly be back for more skiing on Canada s best ski resort.
