McSporties offers excellent service in waxing, tuning, boot fitting, and customer support. From the moment customers enter the shop, they are greeted with attentive assistance. Peter Wilson noted that the staff immediately understood his needs for ski tuning and waxing. They promptly responded to his queries about edge angles via text message. The job was completed overnight and Peter picked up his skis the following day, finding them to perform exceptionally well on snow.
If you're looking for a ski shop in Sun Peaks to help you find high quality technical gear and has the coolest staff, look no further! I recently had the pleasure of visiting McSporties and was so impressed with their technical know how and exceptional service- but they're also incredibly fun to engage with. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. I was on a mission for a specific pair of bindings, a quest that had proven fruitless elsewhere. Not only did they have them in stock, but Peter and Benson went above and beyond to get me set up on my new skis in record time. Their efficiency and expertise were truly impressive, but it was their genuine chill and helpful demeanor that made the experience unforgettable. McSporties is a must-visit for anyone in Sun Peaks, you'll find everything you need and more. I can't wait to return. They're the best on the mountain! Highly recommend!

A friendly and most generous place. It’s not often you feel like family when you walk into a place - but these guys have mastered it. We hired two bikes, and the kindness Chris and Lorenzo showed made this one of our best Canada experiences!

Chris and Lorenzo were awesome helping my kids try out downhill biking for the first time. First class. Great value which for renting downhill mountain biking gear!
Greg C — Google review
Great staff and friendly useful advice. I rented my skis for 2 days but the weather changed drastically on the 2nd day. No stress, as they like to say, and exchanged the all mountain skis for a wider performance pair to go better with the 10-15 cm of new snow. Thanks mates!
Dennis K — Google review
Excellent customer service from these guys. Rented a DH bike for 2 days and would use again if at Sun Peaks. Really chilled and professional guys. Very helpful.

INCREDIBLE! They placed a "Boot Jesus" sticker on the side of my boot and I couldn't agree more! Good quality boot fitters are a dying breed, but they still exist at McSporties! I'm a freestyle skiing coach who brought a bunch of equipment to the shop while in town for a competition because my home shop is useless, and I can confidently say I will drive the 3.5 hours up there to get my equipment serviced from now on. Beckett is incredibly knowledgeable and diligent as a bootfitter, and Peter went above and beyond to repair the damage my skis incurred from a crappy ski tech at my home shop. They also mounted and tuned a new set of skis, and the work I brought them they were able to do overnight. 10 out of 10 - will be recommending to every one of my athletes and their families.
Alexa C — Google review
Chris and Blade were both very helpful and knowledgeable in pointing me in the right direction for a new set of skis and bindings for my trip to Japan this winter. Matthias got my skis mounted up in no time! definitely recommend McSporties if you’re looking for some new gear this winter season and a chance to talk with some really awesome people!

Great fun course in the mountains, the drivable hole 16 is a hoot and the course is a great place to stop if you are in the area.
Reid — Google review
Beautiful setting, but the font nine is so narrow that the average 20 HCP player will lose a half dozen balls. No room to miss. Back nine is great, however. A few annoying things about the operation of the course. They make you fill out the longest waiver known to mankind before taking out a cart. Complete overkill. Also, they don't allow cooler bags in the course (they remind you of the rule repeatedly), but there is no water on the course. For a resort that gets very hot and dry in the summer, it's pretty irresponsible. For $130/ round, not really worth it. Stick to the Kamloops courses.
Pow S — Google review
After riding my bike from Kamloops all the way up to Sun Peaks for the much-hyped “Dirty Birdy on the 12th,” my expectations were sky-high, unlike my blood sugar, which plummeted fast due to the absolute absence of food trucks. Let me be clear: I didn’t bike 1,200 vertical meters in clipless shoes for a bottle of lukewarm water and a complimentary glow stick. I came for bass, grilled cheese, and bad decisions. What I got was one out of three. The music? Slapped. DJ Guac delivered a reasonably spicy set, and the 12th hole amphitheater. Yes, a tee box turned bassmusic dancefloor had surprisingly solid acoustics for a one night rave venue. But he never played OOOUUU (you call her Stephanie, I call her heffanie) by Young M.A (Cloonee Edit), which felt like a deliberate personal attack. Let’s talk logistics: Food: Nonexistent!!! I wasn’t the only one who noticed. I heard multiple ravers muttering about cheese curds like war veterans. The vibe shifted hard around 2 am when people realized they had to choose between starving, or cannibalism. I chose a third option: rage-coasted back to Kamloops for 7/11 taquitos like a man possessed. I'm still dreaming of the grilled cheese that never was. •Facilities: A full-on disaster. With bathrooms approximately 1.4 kilometers from the beat drop, the forests along the fairway became a free-for-all. I personally witnessed a guy urinate directly into the cup on the 12th green. Not even mad, it was technically a hole in one. • Sound system: Decent, but c’mon. If you're gonna throw a full send under the stars, give Guac a Funktion-One stack and let the hole breathe. The DJ deserved better. We all do. Despite the shortcomings, I’ll probably go again. But please, for the love of rave gods and hungry ravers running on nothing but dicsco biscuits, sort out the darn food trucks! Just because the venue itself is spectacular doesn’t mean you can skimp on the BASSics. **Huge shoutout to the onstaff kinesiologist who led a group mobility session just before midnight. That 25 minute dynamic warmup on the d-floor, with everyone groaning through hip openers in mesh tanks was a game changer for marathon raving. My lower back felt reborn.

Had such an amazing golf experience. Thank you to Lauren and her staff for their friendly atmosphere, great selection of merchandise and helpful information with the local attractions. The golf course is in great shape with lots of challenges for all levels of golfers. Definitely a must play.
Donna L — Google review
Operations and policies are very poorly run. You can't get a rain check when its raining and if you back out its a 100% cancelation fee. Considering 75% of their business comes up from Kamloops you would think they would be a little smarter when it comes to their policies and help you out when the weather can be unpredictable between Kamloops and Sun Peaks. Not to mention staff is pretty unfriendly and couldn't really care about your experience. Course is not worth $130 on a weekend. Pro tip, stay in Kamloops for golf. Any other course is more enjoyable.
Marc A — Google review
This course is beautiful! Did the play all day for $75. Cart included. Got in 45 holes before I called it quits. They were aerating the greens and they were still in good shape. Patches of snow were visible yet fairways were very dry. If you can hit your driver long and straight, you can go for a lot of the par 4's. Especially 16 which is 328 yards and drops 100 feet. Only complaint is #18 is way too easy for a Par 5. Played it 3 times, have a 10 handicap and went birdie, birdie, eagle.

Steakhouse at Sun Peaks Lodge

The Steakhouse at Sun Peaks Lodge receives mixed reviews, with some patrons experiencing issues such as finding a fly in their drink and receiving cold meals that had to be reheated. However, server Kylie is praised for her exceptional service, handling the problems adeptly and ensuring customer satisfaction. The food is described as delicious, and the ambience of the restaurant is outstanding. Mario, the owner, also earns praise for his involvement in all aspects of running the restaurant.
Come here for the steak - striploin was well prepared. The short ribs were also tasty. Crème brûlée cheesecake was excellent. Loved the service as well. The one area that fell short was the vegetables. A roasted veggie salad had undercooked beets. The parsnip and carrots were similarly underdone. Improving the veggies would go a long way.
Rebecca S — Google review
Make a reservation, as the place gets busy, but despite the crowd, it didn’t feel rushed or pressured to turn tables. The steaks were decent, slightly overcooked for medium, but the fresh side vegetables were a nice addition. Friendly service made for a pleasant experience, though the meat quality could improve.
Sahar — Google review
It's one of the best places I've been to for a lovely bite to eat. Food was on point and outstanding, staff / waitress knew exactly what was in each dish recommendation was spot on. Is more on the expensive side but we'll worth it. I'm definitely coming back.

Kylie was so friendly and informative about the menu. I chose the Peppercorn crusted New York with the peppercorn sauce and I have to say, this was unreal. Thank you for an amazing dinner.

We arrived near closing time so there weren’t a lot of people. Though the hours are quite unclear, “until closed”, not sure what that meant. When we were waiting to be seated, 3 people told us that it’ll be one moment, and then proceeded to all go open a bottle of wine? I’m not sure why that task required 3 people and it would’ve been a more pleasant experience if just one person could lead us to our table first. We waited for around 5 minutes which isn’t bad and the waitress apologized, but it took a toll on our experience. The rest of the meal went quite smoothly. The service was good. We got 2 steaks and 1 appetizer. The bread that came with the soup was surprisingly amazing. My steak and potato was delicious but the vegetables were steamed so quite bland. We both asked for the same cook on the steak but one was quite a bit more bloody. Pricey but warranted it is a steakhouse

Service was very slow, our food took an hour to arrive following us placing our order. However, the food was good and the servers were friendly.
Jenn — Google review
The absolute BEST food and FRIENDLIEST service in Sun Peaks! The steak was amazing and cooked to perfection, mushrooms were delectable, garlic bread was delicious. Had to take the dessert home (lemon tart).
Jamie A — Google review
Amazing restaurant. Food, drinks, service, ambience all outstanding. Our group had the steak, ribs, short ribs. Tuna and pork belly starters. Anna our server was fantastic. Mario the owner wonderful. Seems he does most everything there from greeting you upon arrival, serving drinks, asking how the meal is. Would highly recommend!

This family-friendly pub, situated at the base of Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Village, offers a spacious and pleasant atmosphere with high ceilings and ample sunlight. Guests can cozy up on couches near the roaring fire or indulge in a tasty meal. The service is welcoming, the food is excellent, and the prices are comparable to those in town. It's an ideal spot to unwind after skiing with a well-deserved post-slope drink - I highly recommend trying their delightful Granville Honey Ale.
We had a great time for lunch. Our server, Jeanine, was fantastic! She was so smooth, efficient, pleasant and really sincere with her recommendations and tips on what she felt we would most enjoy on the menu. The fish and chips were superb, not greasy, lightly battered, and thick fillets of fish. The Mediterranean salad was good but had a large amount of rice with it. Nice cold Pilsner on special for 6 bucks. I would certainly go there again! Very satisfying.

This place is fantastic! It features a lovely outdoor seating area that adds to the experience. The hostess was incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering us great recommendations for food and drinks. The ambiance was pleasant overall. While I felt the lighting could be improved, the chairs and tables were comfortable. Adding tablecloths could enhance the look, but I understand the casual vibe since many come here to enjoy drinks. Overall, it's one of the best spots for a fun evening out! We ordered nachos, pad Thai-style noodles, and a chocolate brownie, and everything was delicious and satisfying.

We were made to feel very welcome by all of the staff when we walked into the Bar. The menu was quite varied with traditional pub grub, burgers etc and vegetarian options. We both chose fish and chips with one portion of fish each, which came with coleslaw and tartar sauce. Portion sizes were very generous and although it was all very well cooked, we couldn't manage to eat it all!! The waitress was very cheerful and helpful and we also enjoyed chilling out, watching the ice hockey on one of the overhead TV's. We'd definitely visit again if we were in the area.

Warm up on couches by the roaring fire or enjoy a delicious meal. Service is friendly. Food's great. And prices are very similar to town. It's the perfect way to enjoy that well-deserved après-ski bevvy. I recommend the Granville Honey Ale. Delish!

Nice place at Sun Peaks. Good food. The special Masa Burger was so good. Fries were fresh. Good service and all following good protocol for the Covid. Even the kids menu items were pretty much same size as the regular menu. The Pork belly sandwich was good.The soup was great its bacon and barley.

Masa’s is a chill spot as most families eat here. However, the Greek Salad portion was super small; esp for the price. Added chicken $6 and it was a small piece of chicken Tasted good but definitely not worth $23. Service was good!
