Premier Listings for Silver Star Mountain Resort
Located in the interior British Columbia mountains, Silver Star offers 3,282 acres of terrain, 760m of vertical, and 132 runs for all levels of riders from beginner to expert.
Over 700cm of 100% natural, light, dry snow falls here each winter, and the colourful mid-mountain village is filled with spirited locals who love to share their passion for the mountains with visitors from around the world.
Stats and facts aside, it’s really the culture and community at SilverStar that makes this mountain so special and unique.
You’re instantly welcomed into a tight-knit community of like-minded guests and staff all aspiring to move forward – learning, exploring, growing, and chasing down the best parts of life.
Imagine floating through fine BC-interior powder, whooping it up with the kids on playful terrain, racking up solo laps on the backside glades, or chasing new friends down double black chutes.
The fun is infectious, with a shared desire to keep the stoke high and the adventures rolling.
This eclectic collection of passionate people bring heart and core together: long-time locals, new-to-Canada staff, and guests from both down the road and halfway around the world.
All of them gather here in the spirited ski-in ski-out village with the same goal: to be in a place they love with people who love the same things, and who will accept you for who you are no matter how you choose to celebrate the mountain…or what you show up wearing in the lift line. Welcome to SilverStar Mountain.
How to get here: Silver Star Mountain is located 55 minutes from Kelowna International Airport, with shuttles running to the resort throughout the day. Located in the heart of British Columbia, it’s a short 55-minute flight from Vancouver International Airport or a 5.5-hour drive.
