Spring is served at Sun Peaks Resort

Less than an hour from Kamloops, Sun Peaks is wide open through April 13 for downhill skiing or snowboarding and has just the ticket for those after a big dose of vitamin D while scoring festival fun in the snow. 

Pull up your patio seat for a front row experience into this spring snow fest: here are some top highlights, unique to Sun Peaks.

1) Savour Food Festival March 27-29

A whole menu of food and bevy-based events fill the village, including the main attraction: Epicurean night, March 29, welcoming some of Canada's top chefs serving up eight awesome courses of food and wine.

Stephen Duke, of the prestigious Chaîne des Rôtisseurs—representing professional, while supporting up and coming chefs and sommeliers across BC and the world—is one of the organizers for Epicurean. 

"The Epicurean showcase makes the perfect post après, pre- nightclub experience fueling your Spring Fest experience," expains Duke. 

"It's a party with dinner, via seven food stations and a variety of wine and cocktail stops, the name of the game is to see who can win bragging rights for the best pairings! A new way to enjoy dinner, over networking, with a DJ and good times."

Profits from the night go back into supporting Thompson Okanagan's up and coming chefs and sommeliers. (You can meet some of the chefs in this article.)

Duke says, "The best of Canada are right here in the Okanagan region, and we are bringing them into this event."

Duke challenges us to take the weekend to the next level by buying tickets for Epicurean today. Learn more & buy your tickets here before they sell out.

2) Sun Peaks Spring Snow Fest 

If your taste is more about dancing in the sun with a bevy in hand, then Sun Peaks Spring Snow Fest is going to be your jam! It features some top talent on stage serving up sizzling beats with 13 DJs over the three weeks of the fest, including Vancouver’s DJ Jessu. Sponsors Pepsi and Red Bull are both known for backing epic events, so you know it'll be good.

Is there really anything better than beer in hand, dancing away the afternoon in the snow with friends all the while working on the goggle tan?

3) Sun Peaks' Wacky Wonder Race

Finally, if your palate is looking to stay active, sign up for the Wacky Wonder Race, happening as part of the Spring Snow Fest on April 12. Sure, it's a race but it sounds like more of a halfway to Halloween shaker given the wackiest costume wins!

Milly Driver, Sun Peaks events coordinator explains, "it's a cross-track race in costume, as part of the last weekend's Wonder Weekend. 

I know it's going to be a great way to end the season and play up our wonder winter spirit. Wonder Weekend, happening April 11, 12 and 13, celebrates the vibe of spring skiing with this race and so many other events."
