Spent to whole of the 03/04 season in Sun Peaks teaching for the Snowsports School. Having skied in a great deal of the world's premier resorts I did not know what to expect. I found a lot more than I could have hoped.

Sun Peaks is a great destination for families. Not only is the village compact enough to allow you to get around and participate in all the activities but it has the charm of a traditional alpine village too. Nightlife is a little limited but that means you get to meet a lot more people quickly and you will end up hanging out with the locals and workers. Some of the friendliest people I have ever met.

The skiing/boarding is fantastic. Beginners have the chance to get to the top of the hill on day 1! Intermidiates are in heaven, too many runs to choose from. Advanced skiers and boarders have some steep bump fields, lots of glades and open bowls (making up 32% of the terrain). The powder is the best snow I have ever skied in (and I do mean in). For the jibbers amongst us there is a halfpipe and a slope-style course.

Cost of living is very cheap compared the anywhere in France, Austria, Italy or Switzerland. A pound a pint isn't bad anywhere.

A little tricky to get to but well worthwhile. 60% the size of Whistler with only 15% of the skiers/boarders.

Go there!!!!!!!
