Premier Listings for Silver Star Mountain
Silver Star Mountain Resort is the most northerly winter playground in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. With a swirling array of colours against a backdrop of fresh white snow, Silver Star’s Victorian-inspired village comes straight from the pages of a Dickens novel. Lit up at night, it’s a true winter wonderland.
The mountain offers two distinct ski areas; one for novices and intermediates, the other for the more adventurous.
Over 23 feet of dry, Okanagan powder falls from the heavens every year on the long rolling cruisers that are groomed to perfection each and every morning. Awarded ‘Ski Resort of the Year’, the mountain has 3 distinct faces, and 115 runs, gladed areas, and Telus Park, all serviced by express lifts. Plus over 100 kms of Nordic trails and night skiing – something to suit every level of skier. Thrill seekers float through knee-deep powder on the challenging black and double-black diamond runs on “the dark side of the star”, Putnam Creek. TELUS Park, awarded “Best New Terrain Park” by Ski Canada, is where you can challenge yourself on the half-pipe, ride the rails and kickers in the terrain park, and bank the corners on the skier/boarder cross course.
The charming, pedestrian-only village is located at mid-mountain, offering convenient ski-in, ski-out access to Silver Star’s hotels, boutique retail shops, restaurants and cafes. Silver Star’s magical village offers a great selection of hotels, a purpose-built international ski hostel, award-winning vacation homes, suites and condos each with their own unique style and warm hospitality.
You can also enjoy skating, snowmobiling, tobogganing, sleigh rides, snowshoe safaris and dog sled tours, or rekindle your fun-loving spirit by racing down a snow-covered hill in an inner tube!
