Nancy Greene's Cahilty Lodge, Sun Peaks

Great all round mountain

My second visit to Sun Peaks. I decided to return with my partner who had not skied for 20 years as there is terrain suitable for both of us. The Sun Guides is a fantastic free service which allowed me to ski in the top group while my partner skied in the lowest group, so we were both happy and I did not have to worry or feel I needed to ski with her. The Sun Guides are there to ski with you morning and afternoon for over 2 hrs The Sun guiding was fantastic for me and I skied in areas I would never have attempted on my own.

There are no lift queues and fantastic grooming. The temperature never got over 0 deg C so snow quality was excellent the whole two weeks.

Staying at Cahility Lodge allowed me to ski with Al Raine and Nancy Greene which was a fantastic experience.

A little dull

The Cahilty and Sun Peaks itself suffer from being a little outdated. 

The best skiing is accessed by slow chairs. 

The resort lacked "energy". 

Although our 7 year old loved lapping the poma located at the base of the main lifts.

Great trip to Sunpeaks this year staying at Nancy Greenes, Travelplan did the goods for us and it was worry free and all too easy.  Everythingw as expected and everything taken care off.  Couldn''t have asked for a better location and value for money on the accomodation.

Blast at the Peaks

Just returned from a blast in Sun Peaks.

Reading the snow report on the resort tv in the morning to see what black runs they groomed, then heading up for some wonderful steep groomers with powder on top. Snow was fantastic, like skiing on silk sheets, not often you can''t hear your skis under you as you blast down piste.

My recently reconstructed knee held up. (Whistler accident last year) and the whole family had a wonderful time.

I even still check the snow and grooming reports wistfully, wish I was back there!! Now all I need to figure out is where to go next year, Sun Peaks will be very hard to beat.

Value for money family holiday

Our family of 4 visited Sun Peaks for the 4th time and took along friends that had not travelled to Canada before. They were very impressed with the resort and facilities and enjoyed learning to ski and exploring the many runs on 3 mountains that the area has to offer. We noted this visit that the cost of everyday things & activities had risen since our last visit but taking this into account with other resorts we have skied at, Sun Peaks is still very comparable and still good value for money for our family. Our friends are keen to return to Sun Peaks and spread the word on the great skiing available every year. Abigail at Travelplan did an excellent job on our bookings and everything went smoothly for our trip. I have booked these holidays online myself some years but this was an easy process. I would recommend anyone new to the sport of skiing or novice skiers to visit Sun Peaks as the people that work and live in the area are fantastic and you may even run into someone that comes from the city where you live as there are many Australians working there in the winter season.

Sun Peaks

Anne Martin reccommneded Sun Peaks to us and Anne was 100% correct. Sun Peaks is a beautiful "Hill" which caters for all levels of expertise. It was perfect for us because it enabled our learner to travel up with us and then we had our favourite Blues and Blacks whilst she cruised "5Mile" the best green run ever.

Nancy Greene''s Cahilty Lodge was brilliant. Our 2 bedroom apartment was superb and oh so eassy to skin ski out. A great outdoor hot tub to relax and socialise in after a hard day''s skiing. We had the added bonus of Al and Nancy''s company.

We highly reccomend Sun Peaks and whilst friends were fogged out over the road at Big White we just zoomed up the lift and into brilliant sunshine. It became obvious pretty quickly where the 2 mountains got their names from. sun Peaks wins every time.

You have to go there, See you there

Nancy Greene's Cahilty Lodge Sun Peaks British Columbia

My wife and I were in BC from late Jan 10 to mid-Feb 10. The resort was not overcrowded at the time. Cahilty Lodge has great accommodation for couples and families alike.  We stayed in a Grand Studio apartment (which contained a fully equiped kitchen)and was most spacious, clean and comfortable.  

Excellent secure storage for skis/boards when not in use. Ski lifts had no lines or waiting Monday thru Friday, though weekends did get rather busy (to be expected).  

Sun Peaks provides guides for first timers to get to know the mountains and trails (a worthwhile experience).  Plenty of fresh snow almost daily. 

The Bluebird Market caters for most needs in food and drinks.  Excellent restaurants and a bottle shop within the resort with a large range of all types of alcohol completes all needs of the holiday makers. 

We have already made reservations for our return trip in Jan 11. This was our first experience booking a holiday through Travelplan Ski and it could not have been any easier.   Thank you.

Friendly Sun Peaks

We spent a week at Sun Peaks. Nancy Greene herself welcomed us and there were 2 welcome receptions. The hotel is truly ski in ski out and in a superb location. The facilities enabled you to cook your own meals.

We enjoyed the free mountain guided tour on the first day to orient us to the best runs.

Poor visibility and foggy weather spoilt the experience to a degree. The snow quality was great with excellent daily grooming.

The little food store had fantastic fresh fruit.

Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful.

Sun Peaks & Travelplan

Awesome resort with accommodation handy to almost everything.

Nancy Greenes Cahilty Lodge basically slopeside - superb ski in ski out. Room fully equipped for either eat in or eat out as you please.

Staff fantastic Travelplan''s organisation of the trip - flights, transfers, lift tickets - absolutely  ''spot on'' (Thanks Karen).

Great snow whilst unfortunately Whistler was receiving rain AND no lift queues even on a Sat. I was resting by just chatting to the lifties.

The Austrian''s have even built a lift and have a run (OSV) for their training!!!

SunPeaks, Cahilty Lodge Jan 10

After 10 days at Big White, Sun Peaks was initially disappointing, although it was more to do with our accommodation and lack of service than the Resort. 

Skiing at Sun Peaks was excellent and we really loved the Christmas decoration on the trees at the side of the runs. We were lucky to have fresh snow most nights so 7 days was not long enough to see and ski all the 3 mountains. 

The other activies at the Resort were great, like snowmobiling and snowshoeing, however the tubing was rather tame after the tubing at Big White. 

The Cahilty lodge was well located, however the service was not that great. It took 2 days for our broken DVD player to be replaced. Also, we tried the in house restaurant on our first night, after waiting for 15 minutes and still no sign of anyone wanting to serve us (and it wasn''t busy) we left and did not return for the week.  This worked out well for us as we found great other restaurants and cafes, there are many to pick from in the Village.
