We are returning to Canada for Hawaii Ski Week, 2014.
Our destination, Sun Peaks, (www.sunpeaksresort.com)
is the second largest ski area in British Columbia with 3,678 acres of skiable
terrain on three different mountains. It is 10% novice, 58% intermediate, and
32% expert. The largest vertical drop is 2,894’, from 6,824’ to 3,930’.
Other activities are extensive Nordic skiing trails, a 9 acre terrain park,
snowshoe rentals (and snowshoe golf?), tube park, heli-skiing, ice skating rink,
cat-trax groomer rides, snow limo tours of the slopes, snomobile tours, dog
sleds, and Kamloops Blazers hockey games with bus shuttle. Every Thursday there
is a shuttle to Revelstoke, an expert ski area 2 hours away.
The Sun
Peaks Village is a pedestrian only village with over 25 bars, restaurants or
coffee shops. We will be staying in the village at Nancy Greene’s Cahilty Lodge
(www.cahiltylodge.com), a ski-in, ski-out mountainside hotel with sauna, hot
tubs (one outdoor and one indoor), fitness center, wireless connection, in room
coffee, daily newspaper, and slopeside ski storage. Next door is the Sports
Centre with heated pool, hot tub and activity desk.
We have two lodging
choices: (1) a lodge room for 2 people with two queen beds and TV, or (2) a
family suite for 4 people - a lodge room with a connecting door to a studio
kitchenette which has a queen bed and either a queen Murphy bed or a sofa bed, a
counter-high refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher and small
appliances. All rooms come with a hot breakfast buffet in the Lodge.

bus from there to Sun Peaks in about 3 hours, plus a grocery stop.
