Extended summer hours for Sunburst Chairlift planned
The Sunburst chairlift will turn for two additional hours daily this summer, depositing hikers, bikers and guests to mid-mountain until 7 p.m.
The Sunburst Lodge, located at 1,850 metres, will also now be open from Friday to Sunday and plans to offer new products such as Okanagan wine and food pairings to be enjoyed at dusk.
Summer mountain operations begin on June 24 and run until Sept. 5. People can load the lift beginning at 10 a.m.
“The decision to extend lift hours until 7 p.m. daily is something we are extremely excited about,” said Aidan Kelly, director of sales and marketing at Sun Peaks Resort, in a press release on March 31.
“Sun Peaks is a very popular destination for international guests touring throughout Western Canada and the extended hours provide more opportunity to enjoy a signature Sun Peaks experience during their visit. Additionally, our local market in the Kamloops and surrounding areas will have increased options for late afternoon activities in their favourite backyard playground.”
