When snow season finally arrives, you’re ready for some serious time on the slopes, and SilverStar Mountain Resort delivers! In the heart of the Okanagan region, just 22 km from Vernon, BC,  a  stunning snow-globe scene awaits. The village sparkles under a blanket of white, skiers glide past iconic chalets and the fresh mountain air carries the promise of a fab outdoor adventure ahead. 

Classic Canadian winter experience

One of Canada’s most welcoming winter destinations, SilverStar is passionate about your passion for snow sports! The resort earns kudos for outstanding alpine skiing and snowboarding, but what truly sets it apart is the amazing variety of on and off-slope options. 

The mountain offers more than 3,300 acres of skiable terrain, with runs for everyone from first-time skiers to seasoned powder seekers. Every day feels different thanks to wide-open groomers, gladed terrain, family-friendly cruisers and challenging steeps. The resort layout is custom designed so snow enthusiasts can explore multiple faces of the mountain without feeling overwhelmed by crowds.

For a calmer vibe, beyond the downhill action, SilverStar boasts 55 km of daily-groomed Nordic trails, combined with Sovereign Lake for over 105 km of groomed cross-country ski trails. Wind your way amidst quiet forests and rolling alpine landscapes, surrounded by pure bliss.

Bring the family!

Togetherness is a fact of life at SilverStar, and it’s not all about skiing. The resort is geared to “all-inclusive” family fun, with tubing, ice skating and snowshoeing. Enjoy the thrills of fat biking on the snow-covered trails to get your adrenaline pumping. These activities are all included on day tickets and passes at no extra cost.

At the centre of it all is the resort’s colourful ski-through village filled with restaurants, cafés, boutiques and inviting spaces to gather. A place to linger over hot chocolate after an active day outdoors; where kids can safely explore while parents chill out and plan the next day’s events. As evening falls, a panorama of stars light up the dark night sky. And you realize that special moments of a winter vacation continue after the skis come off.

Whether you’re carving fresh tracks, gliding through snowy forests or simply enjoying the view from a village patio, SilverStar Mountain Resort takes the win, blending world-class winter recreation with genuine mountain charm. Your answer to an authentic Canadian winter escape!
