Sun Peaks – Resort

We’ve been running our ski and snowboard instructor courses at Sun Peaks Resort for over 11 years. There’s an excellent reason why. It’s a truly world class ski area.

Sun Peaks boasts the second largest skiable area in Canada. With perfectly groomed slopes, powder bowls, Alpine trees, steeps, park and backcountry options to suit all styles and abilities. Ski-in/ski-out hotels in the village centre provide easy access to the main chairlifts to get you onto the mountain quicker.

The town is a compact, friendly and family resort, with enough amenities such as restaurants, bars and retail stores for ski and snowboard equipment. There is also a pharmacy, supermarket and liquor store.

The variety of terrain and accommodation proximity make Sun Peaks an ideal place to take your Ski or Snowboard Instructor course for your gap year, time out, or career development.
