If you looking for breathtaking scenery, guaranteed snow, and a friendly Canadian atmosphere,  SilverStar Mountain Resort offers a true Canadian winter experience. There are plenty of reasons to ski SilverStar this winter! It is a regular favourite for so many people, but we will try to sum it up for you.

Here are 5 reasons you should make SilverStar your next ski holiday destination!

Big mountain experience with a small town feel

SilverStar offers a big mountain experience with a small-town feel.  The friendly compact village is filled with colourful chalets, cafes and restaurants to explore. Slope side accommodation means you can easily reach amazing ski runs with four mountain faces to explore. It’s easy to feel like a local as there is a real sense of community as you walk around the village.

As British Columbia’s 3rd largest ski area (largest in the Okanagan) SilverStar receives 7 metres of snowfall each year and with 3,269 acres of varied terrain you will find something for every skier or boarder.

Fantastic ski facilities 

SilverStar has worked hard to create a seamless lift system which has resulted in uncrowded slopes. The 8 seat gondola lift at the centre of the village has been pioneering their new high tech mountain. There is little waiting in line, most of the lifts are 4+ people and many are heated with protective bars. Further, they have an excellent ski school and terrain park which has made the mountain first class for skiing and boarding at any level.

Endless family fun

At SilverStar you will find endless family fun with on and off mountain snow adventures and a family friendly ski through a village lined with shops and impressive dining options.

Get the whole family involved with adventurous snow shoe tours that explore the back country trails, horse drawn sleigh rides, snow tube rides in the tube park, fat biking or take the whole family ice skating at Brewer’s Pond. Snow adventures abound with plenty of activities to keep the younger children entertained  including mini snowmobiles for children ages 6-12, tenpin bowling, the climbing wall and the SilverStar Mountain Museum, where you can take a trip down memory lane and learn all about the history of the mountain.

For something different, take a journey by snow cat for an on mountain dinner experience  or try heli-skiing in the Monashee Mountains. There are so many options to share the SilverStar experience with your family.

Academy Training Programs

If you want to take your skiing or riding to the next level then you should try a SilverStar academy training programme.  These specialised programmes are designed for individuals seeking excellence and improvement and all coached by SilverStar’s most experienced instructors.

The U19 programme is internationally recognised and combines the highest level of coaching with an outstanding social atmosphere where parents and children from all over the world can interact and learn. The course is focused on developing alpine, skier-cross, snowboarding and snowboard-cross skills.  Plus, there is something for the parents too with a tailored Ski Academy program that includes training,  on-snow instruction, video reviews and more where you can develop and improve your techniques with some of the best coaches.

Friendly Mountain hosts

Get to know the mountain better on tour with a SilverStar Mountain Host.  You cant miss their bright yellow jackets and you can find them mountain in the centre of the  village or on the slopes.  With their vast knowledge of information you will get all the insider tips including the best runs, secret places, whats going on, après ski recommendations and more to make sure your time on the mountain is a great one. This is one of the best things on the mountain as it allows you to experience the best of the best, for free!
