Guarantee your Ski Season
Ski & Ride japan where every day is a Guaranteed Ski Day

Ski Canada, USA & Japan

Ski the Holy Grail of ski locations where the villages and towns are nestled at the bottom of the slopes, where the lifts and gondolas rise up from just outside your room. The ski areas are big, huge even, the runs are varied and long – some up to a whopping 11kms long!-and there’s hardly another skier or boarder in sight as you cruise down perfectly manicured pistes or weave through open gladed trails.

When you eventually reach the bottom of the run, a warm fuzzy tingle runs through your body,  a beaming smile appears on your face and you look at your ski buddy and say “Darn, that was good. Lets do it again!”, and you slide up to a high speed detachable quad chairlift with hardly a soul on it, ready for another exciting run.

Sounds too good to be true?
Well, pinch yourself and remind yourself that this is what you’ve worked your butt off for: to ski the Holy Grail that is beautiful British Columbia or stunning Alberta, and lets not forget those 300 glorious blue sky days Colorado is blessed with each year, not to mention the legendary powder of Japan.

Now all you have to do is get yourself, your family  and/or your mates organised to go and have some fun in your own slice of Paradise. Pick up the phone and Call NZ: call 09-479 2210 or Toll Free: 0508 348 334 or Free Phone Australia: 1800-042-195.

Benefits of Joining an Escorted Tours: Singles, Couples

We appreciate that most people prefer not to travel in groups, but interestingly enough, many of our clients do. We've found that once a client travel with a group they very seldom travel alone again.

The main reason why, year after year skiers travel with a tour leaded group is the Fun & Cameraderie along with ambience and atmosphere. Hard to put into words, but it's the friendships that develop between like minded skiers, it's the fun of sharing the day's lasting experiences in the restaurant and bar after a great day on the slopes.

Mt Morrisey
Trail MapSun Peaks’ third and newest mountain offers an easy layout of open glades, cruising style runs and black diamond steeps, with more steeps to come in the future. Morrisey’s northerly exposure also keeps the snow light and dry and ensures that it lingers well into the spring each year.

All this adds up to an incredible variety of skiing and riding terrain for every level. From powder-filled bowls to perfectly groomed cruisers and exhilarating tree skiing, Sun Peaks has something for everyone.
