Winter

Skiing & Snowboarding

Sun and Snow -- itt’s what Sun Peaks is known for.  Sun Peaks is in a semi-arid region so our climate combined with perfect elevation produces snow that is known as champagne powder.

The quality of snow, exceptional terrain and high elevation are just three of the reasons why the Austrian Ski Team chose Sun Peaks as their early season World Cup and 2010 Olympic training home. Female Athlete of the Century and Olympic champion Nancy Green also calls Sun Peaks Resort home.
