A Snow Cat arrives at Sun Peaks Resort this week, one of two new machines worth more than $700,000 and purchased as part of an ongoing renewal program for the resort’s fleet. The two Pisten Bully machines will lessen fuel and maintenance costs while providing an exceptional skiing surface for guests.  Ski Teams from around the country, including the Canadian National Ski Cross Team, will be training on the mountain as early as Nov. 10.  Opening day for the public is set for Nov. 17 and early snow has staff and skiers optimistic for a good season.
