Solar Peaks (Sun Peaks) - a new, rapidly developing ski resort in a distant and beautiful Canada, in the part that is called British Columbia. Canada is a country that is known for its amazing combination of superbly developed infrastructure and almost untouched nature. They say that raccoons here run across the road as often as dogs do. And this speaks of good ecology and awe-inspiring attitude towards animals: they are not afraid of a person even on the rumbling monster-machine.

Getting there

The nearest to Pikam airport is located in Kamloops, from which you can get to the resort by bus or taxi. You can fly to Vancouver, see the city and from there go to your destination, the journey time is 4 hours. If there is a desire to see Seattle, then you can safely go and from it, the journey time is 5 hours, but in this case you will also need a US visa.

Slopes and slopes

Sunny Peaks are three mountains, the height difference is 3000 m, the slopes are always snowy, but since the resort is trying to foresee any unexpectedness, there is an installation for creating artificial snow. The permanent director and "brain" of the resort is Nancy Green - Olympic champion and national pride s Canada. Knowing skiing "from within" and having overcome the athlete's entire path from the first timid descent to the highest step that an athlete can achieve, she perfectly understands the needs and demands of all categories of skiers who come to the resort. Thanks to her, 114 trails of various levels of difficulty were laid in the resort - green, blue, black and double black.

But not only skiing alone guests can enjoy. There are wonderful trails for cross-country skiers, the length of the trails is 40 km. Snowboarders also do not feel neglected, because there are fan-park and half-pipe.

Kitchen

Actually, Canadian cuisine is difficult to characterize, the Canadians themselves wittily call it a sandwich or puff cake .It absorbed both French (Quebec) and Anglo-Saxon traditions, as well as the traditions of the indigenous peoples of the North..In addition, a large flow of emigrants also had a significant impact on the methods of cooking and the composition of Canadian dishes .Traditionally, there is a lot of meat here, and Canadians prefer natural whole meat - roast beef, steak, langet .They love vegetables, cereal side dishes, of course, they prepare the cheeses wonderfully, which is not surprising, given the French origin of many of them .Of course, it was not without the influence of the "big neighbor" - the USA, here the Canadians took the culture of fast food .Despite the constant tearful calls of nutritionists to give up this harmful food, it is still popular .

Of drinks, Canadians are very fond of beer, it is very worthy of quality here. Very good Canadian liqueurs, a variety of flavors and fortresses.

Entertainment, sightseeing and sightseeing

Of course, "only mountains can be better than mountains", and we come to a ski resort for skiing .At the resort - a lot of shops, restaurants, bars, pubs, special "authentic" restaurants - liquor .But if you get tired of sitting in one place, even such a pleasant one, a good option is a trip to Vancouver .The city is relatively young, founded in the 19th century, its name was given in honor of the famous seafarer J .Vancouver, which opened the eponymous island in the Pacific Ocean .Vancouver is Canada's third largest city and the largest Pacific port..It is located between two majestic peaks - Mount Seymour and Soliburn .The city is cut by rivers, through which more than 20 bridges are laid, three of which are adjustable .

Climb to the tower of the Harbor Center, the view from this skyscraper is absolutely inexpressible. Canada's special pride is parks. In the park Capilano you are waiting for waterfalls, a suspension bridge of the last century, a canyon and ancient forests. In the city is the most interesting old quarter of Gastown, the Chinatown is unique, there is a real Japanese garden in the city. Of course, shopping here is especially attractive here, as in all of North America, there are an abundance of shopping centers offering goods for different tastes and a purse.

Active rest is

You can visit a very good sports center, go hiking, during which you will be simply shocked by the surrounding landscapes and feel like a hero of Jack London or James Curwood. Well, and if for completeness of sensations someone does not have "northern" details - please, you will have a purely Canadian entertainment, riding on dog sleds. But not everyone likes to exploit the "brothers of our smaller", in this case you will be well suited for a snowmobile or a sleigh.
