SUN PEAKS, B.C. — The only Canadian municipality to make National Geographic’s list of the best winter destinations of 2019 is less than an hour outside of Kamloops.
Sun Peaks is one of 10 destinations that made the list, along with just two other North American locales.
“Snowshoeing, dogsledding, storm-watching, and the illuminated Capilano Suspension Bridge all make British Columbia a favorite winter destination. But if you’re planning on skiing, ski-biking, or snow-limo-riding — avoid the long lift lines at Whistler and head for Sun Peaks, Canada’s second largest ski area, where three powdery peaks and 4,270 acres of skiable terrain lead down to one central village,” National Geographic writes.
Recommendations include a night of “Alpine Fondue” and night-skiing.
New York City and Puerto Rico made the list, along with Lijiang, China — Palau — Tunisia — Quito, Ecuador — Christmas Island — Salzburg, Austria — and Konya, Turkey.
