Sun Peaks is the second-largest ski area in Canada, an hour from Kamloops in the interior of British Columbia. The skiing spreads over three mountains around the village, which sits in the middle rather than off to one side: most hotels and restaurants can be reached on skis. The interior plateau lies far from the ocean, so the snow is dry and light, unlike the coastal kind, and the local favourite is tree skiing. Nancy Greene, the 1968 Olympic champion, was director of skiing here for many years and still lives in the village.

What visitors say about the resort

Sun Peaks is valued for the dry snow of the Interior Plateau and its slopeside village, where you can step out of your hotel in ski boots. Visitors praise the three mountains, lack of queues and family atmosphere - Canada's second-largest resort is still almost empty.

Criticism focuses on its remoteness: Kamloops is an hour away and Vancouver half a day away. There is also little nightlife, and the village is small. Visitors also complain about prices at the only supermarket.
