About Silver Star Mountain Resort

Silver Star Mountain Resort is one of Canada's best-kept secrets — a full-service destination ski area in the Monashee Mountains above the Okanagan Valley that combines excellent Interior BC powder skiing with a genuinely charming Victorian-themed village, extensive cross-country skiing infrastructure, and a resort character shaped by its relative independence from the Vail Resorts and Alterra mega-corporation dominance that has homogenised much of North American resort skiing. Its 132km of terrain across 115 trails spans a comfortable range for family and intermediate skiing, with the Putnam Creek and Silver Woods expert sectors adding genuine challenge for advanced visitors who arrive during or after a Monashee snowfall event. The resort's 105km of groomed cross-country and snowshoeing trails operated under the Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre brand are among the best in western Canada, consistently attracting elite national team training camps and citizen racers who form a distinct resort community alongside the downhill market. Kelowna International Airport, just 55km from the mountain, provides convenient access from Vancouver, Calgary, and connecting US hubs that makes Silver Star a practical choice for US travelers exploring the Okanagan wine country in combination with a week of mountain skiing.
