Sun Peaks Summer Snow Storage

1st June 2025

The Canadian resort is using an insulated blanket to preserve the snow over the summer.

The grooming team at Sun Peaks has team collected 14,000 cubic meters of snow.

It was then covered by mats developed by the Finnish company, Snow Secure.

The insulated mats are filled with a material called Finnfoam and arranged over an oblong dome-shaped pile of snow.

The stored snow is 300 feet long, 100 feet wide, and 30 feet tall.

CBC reporter, Shelley Joyce, shows how this latest snow technology can give ski competitors an edge.

The installation of the Snow Secure system comes in conjunction with a multi-million dollar upgrade to the resort’s existing snowmaking system that began in 2024.
