Join the Sun Peaks Squad 

Summer 2026 Ambassador and Athlete Program 

Love the bike park, trails, golf course and mountain lifestyle? We’re looking for folks who are passionate about outdoor recreation and mountain biking from the local area who live and breathe summer at Sun Peaks, and as equally important, get fired up at the idea of sharing their experiences and the stories of this special place with the world. 

The Sun Peaks Squad brings together a team of eight athletes and creators who authentically, proudly and respectfully represent Sun Peaks Resort and the Sun Peaks Bike Park both on and off the mountain through riding, hiking, golfing, storytelling, content creation and more.

New this year, we may also select hiking, golf and/or trail running ambassadors in addition to mountain bikers, depending on the strength of applications received.

Whether you’re chasing podiums, filming laps, hosting friends or showcasing your favourite summer moments, we want to hear from you. 

Applications are now open and close on Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
