Operations Update – DECEMBER 4

The dog-friendly trail on Whiskey Jack is now open. The upper portion of Whiskey Jack has a few thin snow spots, but it skis well, and dogs will love it. Skiers with dogs can use Village Trail to Cotton Tail, then Vista, and a short section of McGillivray Lake to connect to Whiskey Jack. It will be some time before the lower McGillivray Lake trail on the golf course is open. The upper areas of Raven Ramble and Raven Return are also open for dogs.

TRAIL STATUS

The grooming status information below is updated in real-time as the grooming team works on the trails overnight. A "Groomed with Fresh" status indicates that the trail has received 5+ cm of fresh snowfall since it was last groomed.

Sun Peaks also updates trail status throughout daily operating hours.

Grooming PDF: Due to feedback, we’ve reinstated the Daily Grooming PDF. This PDF is generated only ONCE per day, around 7:00am. While we do our best to capture all Groomed trails, there may be trails that aren’t captured due to the publishing time of this document. Please refer to the website list below and on-mountain grooming board for real-time, up-to-date status.

Please NOTE:

You may encounter wildlife on Nordic and Backcountry trails at any time. Please ski in pairs.

The lift-accessed Holy Cow trail features several significant downhill sections and is best suited to confident intermediate or advanced Nordic skiers. Guests should be comfortable on intermediate trails throughout the rest of the Sun Peaks network before attempting Holy Cow.

Backcountry trails are neither groomed nor patrolled, and are not recommended for those new to the trail system or new to Nordic skiing. They are operated in conjunction with the Province of BC and the Kamloops Outdoor Club.
