You can easily fall in love with Silver Star.
Silver Star Mountain Resort
is an award winning winter playground nestled in the heart of the North Okanagan Valley.
A swirling display of bright and vibrant colors against a backdrop of pristine white
snow, this Victorian-themed village truly is a wonderful escape to a time gone by. Silver
Star is a haven to relax, unwind and have a mountain of fun! Thanks to geography, wind
patterns and its mid-mountain location, Silver Star has mild, comfortable winter temperatures
and more days of clear skies and sunshine than any other BC resort.
A true winter wonderland
Get ready for classic runs through soft light powder
- 23 feet a year. You'll feel like you're flying, and even if you're not a pro, you'll look
like one. We groom our runs through the night so the morning's skiers meet impeccable slopes.
One of Canada's best grooming teams operates Silver Star's fleet of Bombardiers. Each and
every night after the chairlifts close, our team sets out to deliver velvety waves of corduroy
so you can cruise all day.
The mountain offers two distinct ski areas; one for novices and intermediates, the other for
the more adventurous. The Vance Creek area has immaculately groomed runs with wide-open spaces,
uncrowded slopes and great views of the Monashee Mountains. The Comet Express, the largest
six-passenger chairlift in Canada, enables skiers and riders to quickly access Silver Star's
award winning terrain on the mountain's front side. But wait...
The Steep and Deep...
A visit to the dark side will challenge any hardcore enthusiast. With over 60 runs serviced by
the high-speed Powder Gulch Quad, Putnam Creek is renowned for black diamond runs and deep
powder snow. Bon Diablo, Zypper and Headwall, to name a few. Winch-cat grooming nightly creates
steep fall line cruising that will leave you breathless.
Fun and excitement for the whole family
At Silver Star, there's no better place
for kids to improve their skiing or boarding skills than at the Star Kids Centre. Whether
they're new to the sport or already at a more advanced level, Silver Star's award-winning
instructors are legendary for their patience, enthusiasm, and ability to bring out the best
in every child. Rest assured that your children will receive the highest level of care and
attention, every step of the way! We believe that all children are stars. From our fun and
caring staff, to our kids-only beginner area and lift, we are committed to offering the best
experience possible for kids.
And the smiles aren't limited to the slopes!
Apres ski activities are in abundance including an incredible Adventure Park with ice skating
on Silver Lake, thrilling tube rides, mini Z snowmobiles and horse drawn sleigh rides. Snowmobile
tours, snowshoe tours and an extensive Cross Country ski trail system round out what is truly
the Okanagan's finest Winter Playground.
