Beginners 
I wish I had learned to ski at Sun Peaks¦.if you can ski in New Zealand, even if you are a beginner you will enjoy skiing so much more at Sun Peaks, they have a green run off every chair. When you first head out I recommend beginners and any intermediates wanting a warm-up run to take the Sunburst (bubble) Express Chair to the top, head right and take the green run Cahilty this will bring you on to the green run 5 Mile about half way down - you will love it. After that you can choose the Sunburst or Sundance chairs to try even more green runs and from Sundance there is the green connecting run over to Mt Morrisey " more than enough to keep you busy & very happy!
Intermediates
You will love Mt Morrisey, lots of blues and no queues ! My favourite blue run is Three Bears off the Sundance Express Chair - great fun as is Crystal Run off the top of the Crystal Chair.
Experts
First off in the morning there are quite a few short-sharp warm up blacks off the Sunburst Express Chair that lead back on to 5 Mile and back to the Sunburst. Then head up again and then over to the Crystal Chair to check out Spillway & from there the Burfield Chair where you will find Highway 22 and its off shoots 22a & 22b and many more.
Racers
Want to test your race skills? Head to up the Sunburst Express to access the Nancy Greene's Race Centre serviced by the new Elevation quad chair, you will be using the same race training course as the Austrian Ski Team!
