Sun Peaks totally surprised me in the best way. It has that cozy, small town vibe but still offers amazing skiing and tons to do year-round. The runs were never crowded, the snow was great, and being able to ski right into the village made everything super easy.
In the summer, it's just as fun, awesome hiking trails, mountain biking, and some really beautiful views. The village has a nice mix of shops and restaurants, and everything is within walking distance. It’s super family-friendly but also great for a relaxing couples’ getaway.
If you're looking for a chill mountain resort without the crowds (but with all the perks), Sun Peaks is a win.
