Canada's Second Largest Ski Area

Receiving an average 6 metres of snow annually, our slopes are renowned for the light, dry powder that Interior British Columbia is famous for. Each mountain is easily accessible from the central Sun Peaks village, so you can ride all three in the same day or stick to the area that you love most.
