Festivities kick off with a live DJ performance to hype the crowd up for the NYE Freestyle Invitational, featuring a special build at the base to showcase Sun Peaks' local talent. Stick around and watch the Kids Glow Stick Parade as they glide and glow down lower Sundance before the iconic torchlight decent. The entire Sundance ski run will come alive with an iridescent red glow as skiers and boarders ride down with lit torches for the famous Torchlight Parade. The grand finale culminates in a breathtaking Fireworks Show, illuminating the stunning mountain backdrop.
The best spectator location for each event is just outside the Village Day Lodge at the base area, between the Sundance and Sunburst Express chairlifts.
See you there to celebrate the start of 2025!

A special note from Nancy Greene Raine:
"I am sorry not to be with you all for the annual New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade, but I'm sure you understand why.
I am really pleased to have Elli Terwiel Williams take my place leading it this year. Elli grew up skiing at Sun Peaks, and raced for Canada at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. We are so proud of her, and it is great to have her back in our community.
Have fun, Elli, and I will be here watching next year.
Happy New Year, everyone."
