Visitor Reviews of Sun Peaks

Just came back from 4 days in Sun Peaks in Feb 2009. This is a peculiar resort; second biggest acreage in BC (Canada?) but it feels smaller than some others. This is possibly due to the 'skiable acres' being, in some parts, thickly wooded trees so that the runs available make this place feel smaller than it claims. But having said that the runs available at Silver Star (including glades) are enjoyable for intermediates/improvers but not much more than that. Beginners & fans of cruisy blues will love it. The blacks listed here would be blue elsewhere; double blacks would be singles. The 3 mountains offer a variety of style of runs: Sundance = easy open cruising blues, Morrisey = tree lined blue runs, not difficult but very pretty & fun to swoosh through through, Tod Mountain = supposed to be the black area but not a great challenge. The lift(s) on Tod are old and very slow. In the 'village' at Silver Star there are 8/9 restaurants/bars for apres-ski/evening meals with different styles e.g sushi, Italian (including pizza), contemporary Canadian/fusion and a steak house.
Fun to ski at Silver Star for 2 days, maybe 3 for good intermediates but not much more than that. We were there for Weds - Sat & Fri/Sat were far busier than the weekdays. Kamloops is close by & residents will visit at weekends. However, any skiers at European resorts will still find the 'busy' days at SP (Silver Star) far emptier than slow days at most European resorts.
