As you arrive at the top of the Sunburst Express Chairlift ready to ski your first run of the day…a distraction fills the air. The smell of cinnamon, sugar, butter and dough filters through the alpine and you follow your nose to Sunburst Lodge.
Every morning during peak winter season, between 20 and 24 dozen cinnamon buns are baked at Sun Peaks Resort and sold at four locations, including the mid-mountain Sunburst Lodge. “The elevation at Sunburst (1849m) means the cinnamon buns baked up there are twice as big and extra fluffy, so it’s often a first stop for skiers and snowboarders when they head up the mountain in the morning,” says Bobbe Lyall, Food and Beverage Manager with Sun Peaks Resort Corporation.
Counting calories? Maybe skip the count and just enjoy the flavour. One batch (4-5 dozen) of these tasty treats includes eggs, oil, sugar, flour, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon…and more brown sugar. Perhaps an extra run or two off the Burfield Chairlift might be in order...
