About Sun Peaks Resort
Sun Peaks is Canada's second-largest ski resort by skiable terrain and one of its best-kept secrets, spreading 135km of trails across three mountains — Sun Peaks, Mt. Morrisey, and Tod Mountain — in the dry interior of British Columbia where annual snowfall of 6 metres falls in cold, light conditions that preserve powder far longer than coastal resorts. The resort village is compact, purpose-built, and genuinely walkable, with a pedestrian-only core of hotels, restaurants, and shops that has earned it repeated recognition as the best small ski resort in Canada. Its position 55 minutes from Kamloops and under four hours from Vancouver makes it accessible without the crowds that its quality warrants, and its consistent sunshine record — an average of 2,000 hours of sun per year — makes it a particularly appealing destination for skiers who want brilliant conditions without the flat light of coastal ranges.
