Everything You Need to Know About SilverStar

Champagne powder and varied terrain attract every kind of skier to BC’s third largest ski area, with over 3,269 skiable acres. The colourful mid-mountain village offers true ski-in, ski-out access to the slopes, and Canada’s first all-inclusive lift ticket provides affordable, family-friendly fun for guests. With four distinct mountain faces and 132 runs, the progressive terrain is perfect for learning. For the more adventurous, the backside of the mountain is an uncrowded paradise of over 1,900 acres of steep and deep, black and double black diamond runs.

Insider Ski and Snowboard Tips

SilverStar village is a chocolate-box cute approximation of a ye-olde British Columbian mining town framed by the stunning Canadian Rockies. It’s all pillbox reds and sunflower yellows and saloon-style architecture rendered in hyper-colour against a cornflower blue sky. Although this can’t be true, in my memory the sun always shines in SilverStar. I know it can’t be true because the resort has some of the best natural snow going, over 700cm annually actually, but it seems SilverStar has contrived to receive most of its snow at night – clever.

Restaurants and Après

SilverStar is a fairly sedate mountain resort, which can either be a very good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you’re after! Much of SilverStars accommodation’s are entirely self-sufficient so you find many visitors don’t eat out.
