[1] Bluebird Days All Winter Long

Thanks to its inland climate, high elevation, and a landscape surrounded by mountains, the 8 Peaks region enjoys low humidity and an abundance of clear blue skies throughout the year.
In winter especially, a favourable pressure system brings even more sunny days.
As a result, 8 Peaks Resort boasts an impressive sunshine rate of over 80% during the snowy season.

[2] High Dry and Fluffy　Snow at Its Best

Sitting at an altitude of around 1500 metres 8 Peaks enjoys consistently cold temperatures and low humidity—ideal conditions for light dry and silky powder snow.
The inland climate means the snow has very little moisture so the crystals stay beautifully intact as they fall creating that fluffy floaty feeling powder lovers dream of.
Combined with an abundance of sunny days the result is a stunning contrast of deep blue skies and glistening white slopes with consistently high-quality snow you can count on all season long.

[3] Escape the Crowds – Ski in Peace

Lucky for you, 8 Peaks is still a well-kept secret.
Have you ever arrived at a famous ski resort only to be met with long lift queues, packed restaurants, and overcrowded toilets?
That’s not exactly the relaxing ski holiday you were hoping for. At 8 Peaks, you’ll experience wide-open runs, uncrowded lifts, and the freedom to carve fresh lines without dodging crowds.
It’s a true hidden gem that overseas skiers haven’t discovered—yet.

[4] Perfectly Groomed. Smooth Turns. Every Day.

At 1,500 metres above sea level, 8 Peaks is known for its dry, light snow and beautifully maintained slopes. With over 100 snow machines working in harmony with natural snowfall, conditions stay fresh and consistent all season.
Each morning, wide runs are carefully groomed for that crisp corduroy finish—ideal for carving with ease and flow. Spray some snow, feel the edge grip, and enjoy the sensation of skiing like a pro.
Whether you’re building confidence or refining your turns, every day on these slopes is smooth, satisfying, and unforgettable.
