Silver Star Mountain Resort

Although Silver Star Mountain Resort is not new to winter guests, it is still relatively undiscovered. But those who journey here from afar are pleasantly surprised by the distinctive vacation experience found at "the Star" and covet the opportunity to call this special mountain their own.

Welcome to Silver Star, located in British Columbia’s mild Okanagan valley, with average daily temperatures of -5 C (23 F). Share the secret of this uniquely visual and colourful Victorian village. From the moment you and your family arrive, be it by plane or by car, Silver Star strives to make your winter holiday both memorable and carefree. Choose from simple hotels or luxurious vacation homes with true ski-in ski-out access to over 3,000 acres of mountain terrain.

Most notably, Silver Star annually enjoys over 700 cm (23 feet) of light, dry, powder snow. Combine that with 115 runs and the result is truly unbelievable skiing and boarding. From cruiser-friendly Vance Creek to expert-haven Putnam Creek, affectionately referred to as "the dark side of the Star", there is literally something for everyone.

This is the story of Silver Star: my mountain.

Snowmobiling

Silver Star Snowmobile Safaris, provides outdoor fun for both adults and families. Our guests enjoy Silver Star from a totally different perspective, traveling throughout the entire perimeter of the resort's skiable area which is close to 30Km! Guests enjoy a true mountainous tour - cruise down Silver Woods, around Putnam Creek and then climb back to the summit of Vance Creek - through a varied mix of open terrain and tree laden trails. These unique tours provide truly spectacular vistas that most skiers/boarders would never see, including Alder Point and even the twinkling lights of the town-site of Vernon miles below.

The machines are new Artic Cat Panther 660 Touring sleds and are smokeless, quiet engines designed for up to two riders and come complete with all the cool options, even heated grips! For the juniors, we offer a specially-built "motocross style course" where children ages 7-12 can power their way on brand new Artic Cat machines. These sleds will no doubt guarantee endless fun and plenty of smiles! Come by and visit the track - Silver Star Snowmobile Safaris is located in parking lot D, across from Tube Town.

Nordic skiers are grinning from ear-to-ear with the signing of a historic agreement between Silver Star Mountain Resort and the Sovereign Lake Nordic Club. Both local and vacationing cross country skiers will now have the opportunity to access over 105 kilometres of some of North America's finest Nordic skiing.
The average temperature is -5 C (23F) which, combined with continuous snowfall, results in amazing Nordic skiing conditions. There is nothing more peaceful than skiing through the snow covered trees lining the silent trails and opening up to beautiful vistas in the valley below.

Silver Star is world renowned for these qualities. Attracting families and world-class athletes, boasting recreational retreats and romantic getaways, there is something for everyone at Silver Star. Our National Altitude Training Centre offers state-of-the-art training equipment, nordic waxing facilities, meeting rooms, and a full service spa.

Comfortable temperatures make long distance skiing more pleasurable and allow for easy and consistent waxing conditions.

"Silver Star really is my favourite early season training site with its great snow, and abundance of trails. The atmosphere and amenities offered within the resort are second to none, and it is without a doubt, one of the camps I look to most in the year."
