We spent a month in Whistler last year and at weekends or powder days you can spend close to 2hr in a lift queue waiting to upload at the start of the day and then each lift at least 20 min. Sun Peaks is smaller but you never wait in a line and everyone is so friendly. Highly recommend.

I’ve done some tiny Canadian resorts where you end up knowing/chatting to lift operators after a couple of days. Very different ambience, not all designer gear - locals likely to pitch up in old scruffs, it’s as routine to them as taking the dog for a walk in local park.

Meglet 2 Mar 10:06pm, 2 Mar 2024 24,434 posts	0 Meglet Yesterday in La Plagne was ok, snowy most of the day and variable visibility but we did ski more than I thought. (Though I have a horrible cold so it was very hard work and I skipped the evening out) Today was amazing, started out sunny, fresh snow, great conditions. Went across the Vanoise and really enjoyed Les Arcs. Got very windy by the end of the day and light went a bit flat. Snow a bit patchy lower down but we only went there when we had to coming back from Arcs Tomorrow might be very snowy, so will wait and see what the day brings, but at least we all enjoyed it today
