Sun Peaks wants YOU!
The Sun Peaks Resort LLP and Tourism Sun Peaks events teams are looking for capable and energized individuals to join our passionate team of volunteers and help execute our busy calendar of events.
So why volunteer?
How does free skiing sound? That’s right, as a reward for helping us out and giving your time, we’ll provide you with the means to ski for free! More of a summer person? Free biking or hiking is up for grabs too. Volunteering is a great way to give back to the Sun Peaks community and be a part of fun events, get out on the mountain in the fresh air, and gain (or lend!) valuable experience in the events and tourism industry.

- Alpine/Nordic Season Pass
- Discounts in SPR retail outlets

Part-time Volunteers:
- Receive one (1) complimentary Alpine day pass, one (1) Bike Park day pass, OR two (2) Hiking day passes for each day of volunteering
Volunteer Opportunities Available
We have a range of volunteer opportunities available which vary depending on the specific event. Typical volunteer roles include assisting with registration, course marshalling, set-up/take down of events, and other roles where required.
Events range from rail jams in the Terrain Park to our New Year's Eve extravaganza, to DH bike races, concerts, cross country ski races, and more.

- Be a competent skier or snowboarder (for winter events)
