This should be complete by next Christmas. The village Sun Peaks' village has been developed in an old Tyrolean style. There's no need for a car once you get there, unless you want to drive down to Kamloops occasionally. The resort is pretty much self-sufficient, however. There are several restaurants from which to choose.
Skiers ride the chair in the darkness, feast on fondue, then ski down in a torchlight parade.
Also, be sure to try the cinnamon buns at the Sunburst - they're huge. That's it for now. Have a Happy New Year on snow.
