What's it like at Sun Peaks resort?

Sun Peaks Resort, previously Tod Mountain, is 45 minutes away from the city of Kamloops in the interior of BC. The ski area's owners, Nippon Cable Company Ltd, purchased Sun Peaks in 1992 and have invested heavily to transform it into a four-season destination resort. You will find 137 runs over three mountains, with an average snowfall of around 237 inches (6 m). They have 13 lifts (chair and surface). The area has plenty of open bowl skiing, as well as wide groomed runs and glades. Off the slopes at Sun Peaks there are six on-mountain hotels as well as many condominiums and chalets, most of which provide ski-in ski-out accommodation. Additional lodging can be found in Kamloops. Sun Peaks is the second largest ski area in Canada, with its 4,270 acres of skiable terrain meaning only Whistler Blackcomb is bigger. New for the 2018/19 winter season is the Orient quad chairlift, which will improve access to the Orient Ridge area of the resort as well as make it easier to ski between the main village and Mt. Morrisey.

R.C. Hartline from Canada writes:

I've been skiing at Sun Peaks since 1972 when it was called Tod Mountain. It is a fabulous mountain, the facilities are top notch and the people who live and work there are fantastic. The variety of ski runs meets all levels of skiing ability. This is a year-round resort with mountain-biking, hiking, tennis, fishing, dining, and of course a great golf course. The 16th hole is the highest elevation hole in Canada, perhaps North America. If you can drive the ball 225 yards, you may be able to reach the green, 300+ yards down the fairway.....awesome!
