Sun Peaks is Canada’s second largest ski area and is comprised of three distinct mountains. With 135 slopes and 6 meters of annual snowfall, Sun Peaks offers first-class conditions without the crowds.
Sun Peaks receives 6 meters of snow annually and is also blessed with light, dry powder conditions that the Interior of BC is famous for. The city is adorned with many prizes, including the #2 Best Overall Resort three times over the last four seasons. But perhaps the best part is purely selfish: Sun Peaks is wide-open. There are no crowds and few queues at the lifts. If you’re looking for opportunities off the piste, you are in luck. Take a snowmobile ride, slide down the mountain in a huge rubber ring, or shred off-piste through the trees. There are so many reasons for you to become a ski instructor in Sun Peaks!
As a ski or snowboard instructor in Sun Peaks, you will work at a ski school with approximately 100 other instructors.
