To live up to its name, most of the runs on Sun Peaks are south facing, as that face gets more sunshine during the winter. The exception to this is north facing Morrisey. This mountain is mostly an intermediate area, but there are some steeps, and they are likely the best place to find hidden powder stashes on a non-powder day.
Sundance is a mountain with a high speed lift that rises nearly 500 meters in vertical and has a top-to-bottom terrain park right underneath it. This is probably one of the best areas in BC to get good at park. At the base of it is the beginner area and the center of the village.
The other mountain is the site of the original ski area at Sun Peaks, and the highest point of the resort, Mt. Tod. This mountain is serviced either by either a high-speed quad to triple, or by a quad with a mid-station called Burfield. The latter lift is a bit slow by today's standards, but can provide a nice rest after shredding the significant amount of vertical that is in this area.
Sun Peaks is certainly not the most affordable resort in BC to visit as a skier or snowboarder, but it is one of the best.

The most westerly of the North Shore mountains, Cypress mountain is the biggest little mountain in Vancouver. Up here you will have more vertical, more lifts and more runs than any of the other North Shore mountains. The crowds up here are comparable to Grouse most days, but with more terrain once you get through the lift line you should be a lot better off as most of the people stick to the mell... [ Read More ]
