100% Natural Snow…

Thanks to the Okanagan valley's unique microclimate, Silver Star receives over 23 feet/7 metres annually of dry, feather-light, champagne powder snow. You’ll just feel the difference in the softness of the powder and the smoothness of the groomed corduroy.

With comfortable daytime temperatures averaging -5 C (23 F), it’s cold enough to keep the snow light and fluffy, yet perfect for skiing, riding, and cross country skiing and other winter activities.

Variety of Terrain…

Don’t be fooled by the mountain’s good looks, there is over 1240 hectares of uncrowned terrain over two very different mountain faces - Vance Creek and Putnam Creek. Serviced by the Comet 6-Pack Express, Vance Creek offers some of the most immaculately groomed cruising runs anywhere. Wide-open spaces, uncrowded slopes and great views characterize many of the runs. 

Silver Star definitely has a dark side. Putnam Creek is thrilling. With over 60 runs serviced by the high-speed Powder Gulch Quad, Putnam Creek is renowned for deep powder snow, wicked diversity and vast terrain.  Many of the black diamond runs are winch groomed nightly creating steep fall line cruising.

Excellent Ski-in, Ski-out Accommodation…

The close and intimate ski-in, ski-out accommodations give a sense of community that prevails. Silver Star’s Victorian-themed, mid-mountain village offers charming, comfortable ski-in, ski-out accommodation for every budget. Visitors can choose from over 3,900 beds on-mountain, eight hotels and more than 100 vacation homes.

Olympic-Calibre Grooming…

Silver Star’s Bombardier BR 275 grooming machines are operated by Canada’s number one grooming team. Each night after the chairlifts close, the team of groomers set out to till the front side of the mountain to deliver velvety swales of corduroy so you can cruise, and cruise fast! Silver Star's award-winning grooming team helped pioneer winch-grooming of black diamond runs as well as its renowned blue and green trail system. That is why they groomed the Downhill and Super G courses at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics!
