Sun Peaks Resort – Skiing BC’s Finest
Sun Peaks Resort is a fairly new premiere skiing destination in the interior of British Columbia. If you’ve heard of Whistler, BC, you’ve probably heard of Sun Peaks as well. Al and Nancy Green were behind the scenes of the success of Whistler and now they call Sun Peaks their home. If you’ve heard of the legendary powder of British Columbia ski hills, Sun Peaks Resort should definitely be one of your major stops.
Sun Peaks is about 50 kilometres north of Kamloops, British Columbia. It’s a quick and easy drive up to the ski hill formally known only as Tod Mountain to the main Burfield lodge that has been there since 1961. Before 1993 when Nippon Cable bought the area, only the locals knew about the fantastic powder skiing. Now Sun Peaks caters to thousands of people in all seasons on three different mountains including Tod Mountain, Sundance Mountain and Mt. Morrisey. Read the story »

The tour begins with an overnight stay in Toronto, Ontario. Spend your day taking in the sights and sounds of the biggest city in Canada. The next morning, your passenger train tour begins on its journey through Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia in 6 days. On your journey from Toronto to Vancouver, you’ll pass through Winnipeg, Saskatoon and then to Edmonton and Jasper, Alberta. Read the story »
