    Summary

    Sun Peaks has a friendly, attractive small village that has been developed since the mid-1990s. And recent expansion of the ski area means that Sun Peaks is now the second biggest ski area in Canada – only Whistler is bigger. But that doesn’t make it big by Alpine standards. The terrain is nicely varied but a keen skier could cover the groomed trails in a couple of days. We still suggest combining it with a stay at another resort such as Whistler.
