Unlike most hills we hit Sun Peaks only got 1 day's worth of skiing, for one main reason, I was tired. After 6 strait days of skiing I was running on empty. So this evaluation is based on 1 day.
We arrived on the mountain after driving from Big White, about a 3 hour drive, through a rainstorm that developed near kamloops, which turned into a skating rink half way up the mountain which turned into snow at the base of the hill. We stayed at the hostel which was on the mountain and in the old ski club lodge. The next morning we hit the hill and right off the bat we found the cherry on the cake. We dropped into the area serviced by the west side t-bar, which is only open on the weekends. This meant that all the snow the hill got over the last 5 days lay beneath my feet untouched and ungroomed. It brought back memories of Silver Star. 35cm of untouched snow. I was in a wonderland, or at least until the t-bar broke and we had to return to the main part of the hill. The rest of the hill (the mountain is the second largest ski resort in North America) is quite big and can be a challenging run. There are A Lot of chair lifts and the hill is really well designed. The hill has enough ski runs to cater to every ski level and was really fun. Overall the hill rated the second best on the trip, 9/10.
