In the interior of British Columbia, just under an hour from Kamloops, Sun Peaks offers something increasingly rare in modern ski destinations.
A resort where everything connects seamlessly.
Set across three mountains: Tod, Sundance and Morrisey, and 4,400 acres of terrain, Sun Peaks is Canada’s second largest ski area, yet it retains a relaxed, uncrowded feel that is difficult to find elsewhere .
What defines it, however, is not just scale. It is how the resort is designed.
The village sits at the centre of the ski area, meaning you can ski directly through town, back to your accommodation, or out to breakfast without ever taking off your skis. It is a layout that feels intuitive from the first day and continues to stand out, even among North America’s leading resorts.
Mornings here are about momentum. Our team often recommends starting on Tod Mountain, where long, flowing groomers like 5 Mile and Cruiser allow you to cover distance early. From there, it is easy to transition across to Sundance for intermediate cruising or over to Morrisey, where quieter runs and gladed terrain offer a different pace.
This is a mountain that works particularly well for intermediate skiers and snowboarders, with over half the terrain designed for progression and flow, but there is still plenty for advanced riders, including alpine bowls and tree zones .
By late morning, the experience naturally shifts toward the village.
Sun Peaks has a distinctly European-style, ski-through village, with more than 40 cafés, restaurants and bars creating a social hub that feels lively without being overwhelming .
Lunch might be a quick stop slopeside or something more relaxed, but the ease of returning to your accommodation, regrouping, then heading back out again is what makes the resort so appealing.
Afternoons here offer more than just skiing.
Sun Peaks has built a strong reputation for its off-mountain winter experiences, which add depth to a stay without requiring long transfers or planning.
Options include:
- Nordic skiing across an extensive trail network
- Snowshoeing through forested trails
- Dog sledding and horse-drawn sleigh rides
- Ice skating and tubing, ideal for families
These experiences are all located within or close to the village, making them easy to incorporate into the day.
As the lifts close, the village comes into its own. Après tends to centre around relaxed, welcoming venues rather than high-energy bars. It is a place to settle in, reflect on the day and plan the next. This balance is what defines Sun Peaks.
For the 2026/27 season, continued investment in guest experience and mountain operations is reinforcing the resort’s position as one of Canada’s most accessible and enjoyable ski destinations.
Combined with reliable snowfall, abundant sunshine and consistently uncrowded slopes, it is a destination that suits families, groups and travellers looking for a more relaxed pace without sacrificing terrain.
Sun Peaks is not about extremes. It is about ease. Flow. And a ski holiday that works from the moment you arrive.
