Sun Peaks Ski Resort
The Best Skiing in Canada

Sun Peaks Ski Resort is obviously most well known for it’s world class downhill skiing. It is the second largest ski resort in British Columbia and the third largest in Canada – offering runs for every ski or snowboard level. With almost 2,900 feet (880 meters) of vertical you’ll be sure to find the right level for you and your family.

The longest run is eight kilometres long (five miles) allowing for lots of ski time between lifts. Sun Peaks Resort has eleven lifts in total and the lift lines are very short compared with other ski hills of this calibre.
