Silver
Star Mountain Resort is the most northerly winter playground
in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia.
Those who
journey to Silver Star are pleasantly surprised by the distinctive
vacation experience found at “the Star” and claim ownership.
With its uniquely visual and colourful Victorian village, Silver
Star strives to make your family holiday both memorable and
carefree with its genuine friendliness and exceptional customer
service. With a swirling array of colours against a backdrop
of fresh white snow, Silver Star's Victorian-inspired village
comes straight from the pages of a Dickens novel. Lit up at
night, it's a true ski and winter wonderland.
Over 23 feet of dry, Okanagan powder falls from the heavens
every year on the long rolling cruisers that are groomed to
perfection each and every morning. Awarded ‘Ski Resort of
the Year’, the mountain has 3 distinct faces, and 115 runs,
gladed areas, and Telus Park, all serviced by express lifts.
Plus over 100 kms of Nordic trails and night skiing - something
to suit every level of skier.
Thrill seekers
float through knee-deep powder on the challenging black and
double-black diamond runs on “the dark side of the star”, Putnam
Creek. TELUS Park, awarded “Best New Terrain Park” by Ski Canada,
is where you can challenge yourself on the half-pipe, ride the
rails and kickers in the terrain park, and bank the corners
on the skier/boarder cross course.
The village is located mid-mountain, which means that all
the accommodation, restaurants, pubs and shopping are truly
ski-in ski-out. If you want to relax, you can soak in your
private hot tub or enjoy an afternoon at the on-mountain day
spa. The focus is on family at Silver Star, and there are
lots of great activities after a day on the slopes, including
the snow tubing park, the natural frozen outdoor pond for
skating or playing hockey, snowmobile tours, and indoor rock
climbing. There are fireworks shows, movie nights, kid’s carnival
nights, family bingo, Silver Star Idol, and many other events
every night of the week, all a snowball’s throw away from
your ski-in ski-out accommodation. It’s not hard to see why
Silver Star is a destination not to missed.
Silver Star Mountain Resort is located 14 miles (22 km)
northeast of Vernon. From Vernon drive north on Highway 97
and turn east on Silver Star Road. There are daily flights
to Kelowna from most major Canadian cities including non-stop
flights from Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.
