ABOUT SUN PEAKS
Located about 45 minutes from Kamloops, Sun Peaks is Canada’s second-largest ski area by skiable terrain and a year-round mountain resort. Known for its European-style pedestrian village, Sun Peaks pairs outdoor recreation with a tight-knit mountain community that lives here all year.
Winters offer over 4,400 acres of uncrowded, dry powder slopes, while summers bring mountain biking, hiking, and alpine golf. With its own local school and a growing permanent population, it’s more than a resort destination, it’s a place to call home.

WHAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT THINK TO ASK
Rental restrictions vary by building. If you are buying as an investor, the building matters as much as the unit. I keep a current read on which buildings allow what, so ask before you offer.
