I believe Big White claims it is #2 after Whistler in BC. So I do not know if things have changed since 2008 since starting last year I believe Austrians trained at Sun Peaks. It is the home mountain for Nancy Greene - the Olympic Gold medalist from Canada in 1968 although she is a Senator now. I think Nancy Greene moved over there from Blackcomb - she and her husband Al Raine were instrumental in the early development of Whistler Blackcomb - used to be only Whistler and no Blackcomb and there was not much development at Whistler per se in the 60'0 even early 70's - as I remember. Nancy Greene really developed Sun Peak ( there was no Sun Peak before she went there - just Tod Mountain Kamloops. However I remember my sister really loved Silver Star - in the early 90's - it is considered a skier's mountain more than Big White ( Big White is great for snow boarders in comparison). However for those who ski in Ontario, all three are super duper - anyone place is a winner. Their powder is champagne Okanagan snow. Wish I were there.
