Sun Peaks Reviews
Sun Peaks was the final stop of our Canadian adventure, after visiting Vancouver and Whistler (all which i highly recommenced). The resort has one of the largest skiable areas in Canada and receives an incredible amount of snow each season. This was one of my favourite ski experiences ever! The resort is beautiful and the tree skiing is amazing - I'm still dreaming about the snowboarding through the fluffy powder. If you've never been to Canada before, I can't rate Sun Peaks high enough. The terrain is first rate, the people are super friendly and Bottoms pub is so much fun. The resort may seem small but there is a great selection of hotels and restaurants - even the Sushi restaurant was delicious. I recommend the first tracks activity where you get the chance to get first lifts at 8am and have the mountain to yourself an hour before everyone else.
