Sun Peaks Customer Reviews

I have recently returned from a fantastic skiing holiday in Sun Peaks, Canada where I went with my partner to celebrate his 40th birthday. Sun Peaks ski resort is a brilliant intermediate ski mountain with many long, crusing runs to enjoy with the odd mogul field thrown in. It is also a great resort for the beginners and has some challenging terrain for the more advanced especially Headwalls if you love steep and very high moguls! I've skied in Canada for the past 10 years and Sun Peaks is possibly one of the best I've been too. Not only is the skiing great the resort is very pretty with some very nice resturants, it's some of the best food I've ever eaten in Canada though maybe a little more pricey than other resorts but I think it's worth it. Would not advise going during the festve period especially if you don't have children as there were many families and the resort was very busy, though the queues at their worst were only 5 minutes long and very civilised. After they all disappeared we had the entire mountain to ourselves which was brilliant. Even though to get to Sun Peaks is long, with two planes involved it was well worth it and comes as a high recommendation. We would definitely go back again

Sun Peaks was great, the snow was great, the service provided by the company was excellent. I would check with your bank if you can use your card as the ATMs in the resort are rubbish. The food was for the most part good the deli that sells the bagels is fantastic and fairly good value. We were there over new years 2008/9 and you could still find a quiet piste to relax on. The ski in/ski out is a little poor from the hotels but from the runs it is ok. Make sure you have a warm up run on Granny Greene's as it is a nice mellow piste

A very attractive little resort - pretty buildings and snowy streets - strangely a bit like a theme park. We arrived following a week in Whistler, and were quite surprised by the apparent lack of warmth and friendliness in Sun Peaks. The setting is lovely, the snow is fantastic, the mountains varied and well groomed. However, we found it rather soul-less and this might be due to the quietness of the season (and normally we like quiet places), but one would have expected more of the Canadian hospitality. Many/most of the restaurants and eating places do not open until 5pm which could be a problem, and for those self-catering the little supermarket and its staff leave a lot to be desired. There are several empty shops and premises which probably contributed to lack of atmosphere. This sounds critical, but it could be so much better and could be such a lovely place.
