From mid-November to mid-April, skiers and snowboarders can work through bunny hills or go full send on double black diamonds at both Harper Mountain and Sun Peaks Resort. With accessibility to local mountains and affordable options, Kamloops is a popular destination for downhill skiing and snowboarding.
