#1 — 100% NATURAL SNOW
More than 700 cm of the Okanagan’s famous light dry powder snow falls on the slopes of Silver Star every year. Everyone knows all natural is the way to go.
#2 — VARIETY OF TERRAIN FEATURING 115 RUNS & CANADA'S BEST BACKSIDE
Some people believe that you can’t be all things for all people, but with over 3,000 skiable acres we think we can. There’s the immaculately groomed cruisers of Vance Creek, playful gladed areas in Silver Woods and the challenging steeps of the infamous Putnam Creek.
#3 — SUPERB SKI-IN SKI-OUT ACCOMMODATION & YOUR OWN PRIVATE HOT TUB
Finish your day on the slopes by skiing right to your door, relax by the fire with a glass of local Okanagan wine and soak those tired legs in your own private hot tub…it doesn’t get any better than this. From the luxiourious Snowbird Lodge, the unique Victorian Vacation Homes, slopeside condos and hotels, we really do have it all.
#4 — MAGICAL BOUTIQUE VILLAGE FEATURING UNIQUE BARS AND RESTAURANTS
The mountains of British Columbia were once home to vibrant gold and silver mining towns. The prize people are now after is pure white, but the character and charm of Silver Star’s village is a page from the past with its own unique twist. The buildings are all painted vibrant colours creating a magical setting like no other.
#5 — EASY TO GET HERE
Fly non-stop from Sydney to Vancouver…a short one hour flight to Kelowna and then it’s only an hour from the airport to the silky snow of Silver Star…it’s up to you at that point…unpack or hit the slopes.
#6 — RENOWNED SKI SCHOOL & STAR KIDS CENTRE
We all know that higher learning can forward your career. It’s the same on the slopes, spend some time under the direction of one of highly skilled pros and we guarantee you’ll enjoy skiing or snowboarding even more than before. Kids need their own place to play and have fun while learning…the team at the Star Kids Centre will have your kids playing, laughing and exploring the entire mountain in no time.
#7 — DAILY FAMILY EVENTS & ACTIVITIES
After the day on the slopes the good times are not over. Go tubing, skating, snowmobiling, play bingo with the kids, discover your hidden singing talents, or discover you should have left them hidden… It’s all in the name of fun.
#8 — WORLD-CLASS GROOMING
First you start with a regular dose of all natural snow, add an average temperature of -5 and the final ingredient…a fleet of modern grooming equipment piloted by some of the worlds best. The result, sorry, you need to come and see for yourself.
#9 — AWARD-WINNING NORDIC TRAILS
When you have members of the Canadian, Norwegian, U.S. and Australian national teams telling you that the cross country ski trails are their favorite to train on, you know you have something great. Whether you are a skilled skier or just curious about trying another fun winter pastime Silver Star is the place to be.
#10 — OUR PEOPLE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
As a first time visitor you will soon learn that our staff, business owners, locals and even return guests have a lot of passion for Silver Star and what they do. Be careful, it’s infectious…you might find yourself acting as an ambassador too!
"Action packed snow adventures"
The family orientated Silver Star Mountain Resort was an awesome holiday destination that offered access to action packed snow adventures on expertly groomed ski runs that were up to 8 kms long. Night skiing on dry powder snow was complimented with firework displays.
Silver Star mountain Resort also offered more relaxing snow adventures that included exploring the colourful village, socializing with the cafe culture, indulging in retail therapy or just experiencing the breath taking views.
Luxury accommodation at "The Snowbird" came complete with hot-tub, gymnasium, theatre, under-cover parking, games room and friendly helpful staff.
WOW! Silver Star Mountain Resort was a great holiday destination to socialize with both new and established friendships.
Thank you,
Roger & Margaret Brown
P.S. Air Canada was fantastic to fly with."
"Your skiing is second to none"
Just a note to emphasise the great time we have recently spent at Silver Star.
Our party of 6 arrived on the 16th Jan (slightly late due to the airport closure) and left on the 25th .....from New Zealand.
We have all skied Silver Star before and nothing had changed ! (don’t take that the wrong way!), apart from the obvious lift improvements etc. The whole product offered was so enjoyable, relaxed and friendly as experienced on previous trips.
Your skiing is second to none re variety of terrain, grooming, lift staff. We have skied resorts (Whistler, Big White [sorry] Sun Peaks, Lake Louise, Fernie, Red Mountain, Apex,) extensively in Canada and all agree SS still comes out on top.
We experienced the Sleigh Ride plus dinner which was a “never to be forgotten” experience and the Cat ride and dinner at Paradise and, sincerely, had some of the best food I have had for a long time.
A fabulous holiday and a promise to repeat it again. Many thanks again to all for allowing us to leave a lot of money in the area ! J...... and for your and unique overall “Canadian” hospitality.
Regards,
Geoff Bostock
"The best I have experienced"
Having visited the various snow fields around BC and Alberta over the last 7 years; I was as impressed with Silver Star as the best I have experienced. Their warmth and friendly atmosphere was obvious as was the willingness to please and assist with the staff in all areas of the Village.
The resort displayed a fantastic variation of activities for young and old, skiers and no-skiers alike. A friendly village offering an excellent range of shopping experience for everyone and many variations of eateries, from café bakery style to the very best of cuisine was on offer!
I wouldn't even know have to accolade on the unbelievable terrain, standard of grooming and quality of ski instructors at Silver Star, all are of such a high standard and you would be hard pressed to find any better in the region. Accommodation variation is also at a premium and your choice will not be hard to please; they have all types of packages available on any budget or family requirement. This combined with its close location to town activities as well, you could not ask for more rounded package.
We were extremely impressed with Silver Star as a whole and cannot wait to go back in the very near future. Well and truly the best ski experience I have had to date!
Thanks Silver Star!

"Blown away riding Silver Star"
This year I was really blown away riding Silver Star, I had always heard it was a family resort, so I hadn’t expected much from the park, After taking one lap through the jump line i was pumped and wanted to shred the jumps for the rest of my trip.
