The winter ski and snowboard season is upon us.
Canada's second largest ski resort, Sun Peaks Resort, announced its season opening today, Nov. 19, with eight lifts and more than 20 runs.
The Sunburst Express, Elevation, Sundance Express, Morrisey Express, Morrisey Platter, Orient, Village Platter and Learning Carpet lifts are all operational, in addition to the Nordic skiing network, according to a press release issued by the resort.
“All three mountains for opening day is a fantastic sign for the season ahead. Seeing our guests and staff coming out energetic and thrilled to be back on the slopes is what it’s all about,” says Aidan Kelly, Sun Peaks Resort's chief marketing officer, in the news release. “The team and community really stepped up to help make today a success.”
This year, fan favourite activities such as the Alpine Fondue and Starlight Descent, Snow Limo Tours and the Tube Park will return.
Following lift closure today, Masa’s Bar + Grill will celebrate the season kick-off with their Lifts and Lager event. The event, in partnership with Granville Island Brewing, includes a free beverage for season pass and day ticket holders, and will feature entertainment from DJ King Kong all afternoon, according to the press release.
At other resorts in the region, Big White Ski Resort and SilverStar Mountain Resort have already opened for the season this week and Apex Resort plans to open Dec. 2.
