A classy mountain stay

It’s been over seven weeks that I have been living this tough Snow Bum life, spending my days up in the mountains and nights in very good, high quality accommodation.

I spent about two weeks at the Delta Sun Peaks Resort, one of Sun Peaks’ most prestigious hotels, and enjoyed the good life of a Signature Club guest! This meant I was on a floor with a HUGE bed, I had the view of the Sundance Chair and could see everyone starting and ending the day on the slopes. I could even check out the kids trying new tricks in the small terrain park from my window!

I had access to a comfy lounge for breakfast every morning and après ski every afternoon with appetizers! It was here I’d also catch up on the Olympic Games action after a hard day on the slopes.

Being at the Delta also meant I could share their complete exercise room with none else than the Austrian National Ski team, who were also staying there. Those guys are such athletes! They had to stand with one foot on a “half” ball and squat while catching a ball their trainer threw at them - without losing balance! To say the least, I was impressed.

At the Delta you have all these little perks that just make your stay a little more luxurious. The hors d’oeuvres at the après-ski, the ski valet to put your skis away every day, complimentary water bottles and chocolates every night. These were nice and made my stay there so comfortable!

Thank you to Eda, Ian, Rudy, and all the staff for making this a great stay and I have to say, Mantles Restaurant is a great choice for a fine dinner. How about a halibut with a crust of bee pollen, with a scallop appetizer and an assorted dessert? It was quite a treat!
