Sun Peaks, BC
Sun Peaks
Borrowing heavily and unashamedly from Whistler, the resort’s Japanese owners are committed to managed growth in harmony with the natural surroundings. The result, so far, is good enough to suggest that the Sun Peaks approach should be the prototype for all future ski resort development. The resort village is an eye-pleasing mix of European-style buildings and pedestrian-only streets. The skiable terrain, Canada’s third largest ski area, stretches over three mountains covered in dense forests and home to some challenging glade skiing.Sun Peaks is a young ski resort. The first stone was laid in 1993, at the base of Tod Mountain. Since then nearly half a billion Canadian dollars has been invested in creating a world class resort. Its location in interior British Columbia means the resort doesn’t suffer from the extreme cold temperatures of the Rockies. The odd day at 30 degrees below is the exception rather than the rule. And while its overall annual snowfall is lower than that received at Whistler it has a less damp climate than the west coast ski resort with over 2,000 hours of sunshine a year. The lighter, drier snow that falls on Sun Peaks’ grassy mountains makes for great champagne powder.
