“Big “describes Sun Peaks Resort – big fun,
hospitality, mountain, terrain and vertical. Float

air. Cruise, carve and shred down award winning
trails. Wide and sunny skies are complemented by wide and
sunny smiles from the friendly resort staff.

Kamloops in the BC Interior, Sun Peaks is easily accessible

and from Banff (6.5 hours) on the Trans Canada Highway.
