No words can properly describe how much fun we have had over the past few days at Sun Peaks celebrating Australia Day.

It started on Aussie Day Eve here where we found ourselves at the local pub alongside 100s of other Australian’s listening to the Hottest 100 as it is streamed live. While you couldn’t actually hear the countdown above all of the noise of drinking beer and playing pool it was a great atomsphere to be in. The countdown finished after 1am here, well after the pub closed, but this didn’t stop us and the night continued well into the early hours of Australia Day.

After a few hours sleep we woke to find a stunning blue sky and mild temperatures, the perfect conditions for a bikinis & boardies ride down the 5 mile trail.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!

5 Mile

We timed our arrival to Sun Peaks two days too late. A 30 year record snowfall of 45cm fell in the space of a day and a half, but the snow has been great since then. With fresh snow falling every few days and we’ve been lucky to find nice powder stashes in the trees for us to play between. We’ve already found our favourite runs but the mountains are so big there is still so much to explore.
