Sun Peaks Resort, tucked into the beautiful mountains of British Columbia, is home to Canada’s second-largest ski area. With over 4,270 acres of skiable terrain spread across three unique peaks, the resort offers an exciting mix of runs for all skill levels, you can even explore all three mountains in a single day! With an average of 6 meters of light, dry powder each season, the conditions are consistently ideal for skiing and snowboarding. But the winter fun doesn’t stop on the slopes. Sun Peaks offers a wide variety of activities for every kind of adventurer. Stroll scenic trails on snowshoes, rev up for a snowmobile ride, or lace up your skates for a spin around the outdoor ice rink. Prefer a slower pace? Cozy up on a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snowy village. Food lovers can enjoy alpine fondue dinners, and for something a little different, themed murder mystery nights bring a fun and festive twist to your evening. Whether you're carving up the mountain, enjoying time with family, or simply soaking in the alpine charm, Sun Peaks is the perfect place for a memorable winter escape. With a mix of adventure, relaxation, and cozy mountain atmosphere, it truly has something for everyone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621ee50619133621abc273a0/bda12bd9-377d-4d79-a7ca-8e8c1f93011b/Vilage+%2841%29.JPG Venue - Sun peaks grand hotel.
