Sun Peaks Resort is excited to extend the Sun Peaks Ambassador Team program to the 2024 Bike Park season! The goal is to support local bike athletes and community members, celebrate their success, and build a team that will help us share Sun Peaks with the world.
Applications for the 2024 Summer Ambassador Team are now closed.
There are 8 spots available in the Sun Peaks Ambassador Team for this summer, split between two streams: an Athlete stream (four spots) and an Ambassador stream (four spots).
The Athlete stream is designed for local mountain bike athletes competing at a provincial, national, or international level while using Sun Peaks as their training base. Successful applicants in this stream will receive financial support to help them achieve their goals. The Ambassador stream is designed for local residents who like to get after it on the trails outside of competitive events. It's a good fit for local riders, trail builders, photographers, filmers, artists, and others who want to share the stoke for their home bike park.
Interested in joining the team? Check out the full program guidelines below and submit an application. The deadline for applications is midnight on Sunday, May 19, 2024. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive community in the mountains. Women athletes, adaptive athletes, BIPOC athletes, and athletes from other groups underrepresented in the outdoor industry are encouraged to apply.
