    If the goal of SunPeaks Resort was to get some inexpensive promotion by having VanCan visit on their dime, they've succeeded! It's been many years since I was at SunPeaks but now I really want to go again!

    Sun Peaks hype is real this year! Smart of them to host some RUclipsrs and they had the Rocky EWS guys up there. Been wanting to ride there for years after hearing about the awesome steep double blacks.
