Silver Star Mountain Resort is situated 20 km (12 miles) northeast of Vernon in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. Silver Star is a scenic, year-round family vacation destination featuring plenty of snow during winter, numerous activities during summer and a village with character. Since a picture is worth a thousand words here are some photos of Silverstar during ski season.

Two mountain faces, Vance Creek and Putnam Creek, are blanketed with an average annual snowfall of 20 feet (240 in), providing an average snow pack of 245 cm (8 ft). The snow is groomed to perfection with plenty left over for the powder hounds, especially in the 300 acres of open bowl or glade terrain.

Vance Creek, the south face, is mainly intermediate and novice terrain with a few expert options accessed from the summit. Putnam Creek, the north face, is home to some of the most challenging terrain found anywhere. Expert runs with names like freefall, drop through narrow gullies and chutes. There are 11 double black diamond runs. In 2005 over 360 acres of new terrain was added with the new Silver Woods quad chair. In that area there are five intermediate runs, two advanced runs and a beginner run, with loads of glade “tree islands” to explore.

Skiing and boarding are what Silver Star is best known for, but there are many other activities offered. Some examples are professionally guided snowmobile tours, sleigh rides, dog sledding expeditions, and tubing at Tube Town (Western Canada's steepest most thrilling tube ride).
