'''Sun Peaks Resort''' is a year round [http://www.sunpeaksresort.com/plan-your-trip/why-sun-peaks ski resort]located approximately 50 km (a 45 minute drive) northeast of Kamloops, in beautiful British Columbia’s sunny interior. And only a 4-hour drive, or quick flight, from Vancouver. The resort’s unique geographic location annually receives six metres of light, dry snow and, ironically, 2,000 hours of sunshine too! Can you say, “bluebird powder days?”
Sun Peaks is located in beautiful British Columbia’s sunny interior, just a 4-hour drive, or quick flight, from Vancouver. The resort’s unique geographic location annually receives six metres of light, dry snow and, ironically, 2,000 hours of sunshine too! Can you say, “bluebird powder days?” We certainly can.
From the rough and tumble days of Tod Mountain, Sun Peaks has evolved into one of the leading ski experiences in Canada. The resort offers surprising diversity across its three unique mountains: Tod Mountain, Mount Morrisey, and Sundance Mountain. Gladed areas. Bumps. Steeps. Long cruisers. Alpine bowls. Progressive park. It’s all here, and the closest you’ll get to another person is on the chairlift.<br><br>

== History ==
== History ==
In 1961, Sun Peaks Resort, then known as Tod Mountain, began with a single chairlift, the Burfield. The Burfield was at the time the longest chairlift in North America! At the time there were very few amenities. The current log-structure administrative building at the foot of the Burfield chair was Tod Mountain's restaurant, lodge, and mountain ticket sales centre all in one. In 1968 the Burfield chairlift was damaged by fire and did not reopen until December 1970.
