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 weak trough of low pressure will reside over the interior today. A few sunny periods are in store this morning, but with lingering instability mainly cloudy skies will take over during the day with a chance of wet flurries or lower elevation showers by afternoon. Wind will generally be light from the SW today but may be gusty near any showers in the area. On Sunday, mainly sunny and mild conditions with light wind can be expected as a weak upper ridge builds over southern BC. Temperatures will rise to near or a little above freezing at mid-mountain in the afternoons.
Extended Outlook
Monday to Wednesday: An upper trough drifting up from the south will bring increasing cloud and a chance of wet flurries or showers late in the day on Monday. The trough will leave unstable conditions on Tuesday resulting in scattered showers or wet flurries. A NW flow aloft will likely generate flurries on Wednesday. Temperatures will remain mild on Monday with the afternoon freezing level near 1800 m. Only slightly cooler on Tuesday and a few degrees cooler on Wednesday.
