Just came in after another day on the mountain, forgot the camera today so no pics.
Had a late start today as there was no new snow overnight. We had a quick breakfast in the cafe on the mountain and then went to join the lift lines which we pretty hectic today.
The main lift was at a complete stop, with people stranded on it for a few hours so everyone headed to the only working lift from the base. It started to snow heavily while we were in line and ended up taking about half an hour to get on.
We found out later that the reason the lift stopped was because a young girl broke her leg dismounting and they couldn't move her until the ambulance arrived.
With no new snow the runs were hard packed and again, visibility was an issue up high so we spent most of the day taking it easy on the groomers.
Tomorrow morning we check out and fly to Calgary where we pick up our car and drive to Banff.
Even though we loved Sun Peaks, we explored just about every run over the past 6 days and are ready to move on to somewhere new.
Had some days that we will never forget here – we were very lucky to get such good early season snow.
More updates from Banff tomorrow.
