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: A strong upper ridge building along the BC coast will direct a dry northerly flow aloft over the region over the next couple of days, bringing mainly sunny conditions today, clear skies tonight, and sunny milder conditions on Friday. Winds will be NW today, with some gustiness in the alpine, then light tonight and Friday. Temperatures will begin to trend upward on Friday culminating in a warm spring-like weekend.
Extended Outlook
Saturday to Monday: The upper ridge will move directly over the resort over the weekend bringing warm sunny conditions with freezing levels rising well above mountain top and high temperatures near +10 C in the village. By Monday the ridge will have moved east allowing a cooler cloudier Pacific airmass to move into the BC southern interior, knocking freezing levels back down to near mid- mountain and bringing a mix of showers or flurries.
