Opening November 27
With its renowned dry, featherlight champagne powder snow, Silver Star is a mountain with many attractions. The mountain's stunning 3,065 acres (1,240 hectares) are blanketed by 23 feet (700 cm) annually with the world's best powder. Experience 2,500 vertical feet (760 metres) of descent from the top of the mountain. Comfortable daytime temperatures average -5 C, (27F), which is cold enough to keep the snow light and fluffy, yet absolutely perfect for skiing.
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 swales of corduroy so you can cruise the mountain in comfort all day long. The Vance Creek has immaculately groomed runs with wide-open spaces, uncrowded slopes and great views of the Monashee Mountains.
Serviced by one of the largest six-passenger chairlifts in Canada, the Comet Express enables skiers and riders to quickly access Silver Star's award winning terrain on the mountain's front side. Also be sure to check out the Silver Woods quad chair and the Alpine Meadows quad chair.
Silver Star definitely has a back side that 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 that will test even the most fervent skier or snowboarder. Winch-cat grooming nightly creates steep fall line cruising that will leave you breathless.
