IMPORTANT: Ski Area Boundary Notice (Posted March 28, 2025)
Please share this message from the Sun Peaks Patrol team with your friends and loved ones:
If you leave the ski area boundary, you are entering the backcountry and avalanche terrain. You need to have the training and equipment to support this decision. The Sun Peaks Patrol team has recently encountered numerous guests in the backcountry without any avalanche equipment or awareness of the risks. Even more concerning is that we have encountered groups with children as young as 10 years old without equipment in avalanche terrain. The out-of-bounds avalanche terrain surrounding Sun Peaks is significant enough to bury and kill someone. We want all our guests to enjoy the mountain safely and to be able to go home at the end of the day. Recent mild temperatures and precipitation have increased the avalanche hazard. For current avalanche ratings, visit Avalanche Canada.

Synopsis
Synopsis: Very mild weather with a few breaks of sunshine will be the story today across the southern BC interior. A cold front approaching the South Coast this morning will spread thicker clouds to the resort area during the afternoon. Winds on the mountain will increase this afternoon ahead of the front, becoming moderate strong from the S to SE. The cold front will move through our area this evening but with just a chance of precipitation expected. The stiff wind will shift to SW and will ease later this evening. A mostly dry and cooler SW flow aloft will follow on Friday with some periods of sunshine and lighter wind. Afternoon temperature will be near zero at mid-mountain. A weak upper trough will slide through Friday night and generate some flurries with light amounts into early Saturday.
Extended Outlook
Saturday to Monday: The upper trough rolling through our area Friday night into Saturday morning is likely to generate flurries with 1 to 3 cm forecast. A light NW flow aloft will take over on Saturday afternoon with mostly cloudy, cool weather and still a chance of flurries. A dry northerly flow is on tap Sunday with mostly sunny conditions. An upper ridge over the interior on Monday will keep the dry weather along with some sunshine. Highs at mid-mountain near 0 C on Sunday and a little milder Monday.
