Silver Star Mountain
is a year round recreation destination situated in the Okanagan
Valley located north of the community of Vernon, British Columbia,
Canada. The mountain destination is popular for downhill skiing,
snowboarding, snowshoeing and cross country skiing in the winter.
In the summer the mountain is a hiking and mountain biking destination.
The village on the mountain includes accommodations,
cafes, restaurants, galleries and ski shops. The pastel color
buildings and shops of the village are connected by a boardwalk
trail.
Silver Star Ski Mountain covers over 1100 hectares
of terrain. From the top of the ski mountain the vertical drop
is over 2500 ft. There are a total of 10 chair lifts. The largest
being a six passenger chair lift, the Comet Express, that rushes
skiers to the top of the mountain.
There are 60+ runs serviced by the lifts including
the Powder Gulch Quad leading to Putnam creek and many "Black
Diamond Runs". Cross Country skiers will love Silver Star
for the over 60 kilometres of cross country snow trails through
the forests. Snow Boarders come to enjoy the new terrain park
to try out there latest tricks.
Silver Star Mountain Resort is a mecca of activity
for families. On the ski mountain there is the Adventure Park
where children charge downhill on inner tubes, ride a snowmobile
at the Mini-Z track or play hockey on the outdoor skating rink.
For the romantic couple on the mountain there
are sleigh rides, a guided snowshoe tour, an indoor climbing wall,
day spa, fitness centre and a 180 seat auditorium for weekly events
and entertainment.
Accommodations on the ski hill are plenty, but
do not be fooled because in peak season vacancy rates are very
low as many come to Silver Star to experience a BC winter getaway.
