I have some exciting news for Ski lovers.  Westjet Airlines will be flying year around to SunPeaks Resort near Kamloops in British Columbia starting Dec 15th 2008. Often,  international guests had to fly into Kelowna or Vancouver and then fly to Kamloops but starting this ski season there will be direct flights between Calgary and Sun Peaks.  

So, if you wanted to ski at Sun Peaks resort and were worried about non- accessibility of this resort then reconsider your holiday plans for upcoming winter season. Calgary has direct flights from major cities in Canada and US.

WestJet’s Boeing Next Generation 737-600 holds 119 passengers and will provide significant benefits to passengers and Kamloops’ based tourism operators. Sun Peaks and Kamloops immediately become a more competitive destination for ski clubs, conferences and corporate meetings with the ability to carry large groups. The large cargo capacity allows passengers to carry sports equipment such as skis, snowboards and golf clubs with ease.

The Calgary-Kamloops flight will operate once daily starting December 15th, arriving in Kamloops at 12:54pm and departing back to Calgary at 1:30pm.
