Alpine improvements for your summer adventures
The Sun Peaks Bike Park and hiking trail networks are growing! Over the coming months, the summer slopes crew will be hard at work on the first steps of a multi-phase plan to develop more terrain for new and intermediate riders, including a top-to-bottom lift-access beginner trail and a designated skills zone. Alpine hikers will soon have access to more picture-perfect picnic areas too. Those who didn’t pack a lunch can visit the newly renovated Sunburst Bar + Eatery at mid-mountain, for fresh summer fare and an ice-cold drink.
