Sun Peaks Resort, Ski resort in Thompson-Nicola, Canada.
Sun Peaks Resort spans three mountains with 135 kilometers of ski runs that vary from gentle slopes to steep terrain across elevations reaching 2,152 meters. The area includes beginner zones, intermediate trails, and advanced runs spread across all three peaks.
The resort started as a modest ski area serving Kamloops and evolved into Canada's second-largest winter sports destination across 4,000 acres. Steady infrastructure improvements over decades enabled this transformation into a major resort.
The central village features pedestrian streets lined with shops, restaurants, and lodges that connect seamlessly, creating a walkable mountain community where daily life centers around winter sports.
The resort operates from November through April, with 13 chairlifts distributed across the mountains to access different runs and learning areas. Plan to arrive early on weekends, as popular slopes fill quickly during peak times.
A golf course transforms into cross-country ski trails during winter months, offering visitors a quieter alternative activity alongside downhill skiing and snowboarding.
