Silver Star: Insider Ski & Snowboard Tips
Silver Star 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 Silver Star. 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 Silver Star has contrived to receive most of its snow at night – clever.
Silver Star: Access
Silver Star Mountain Resort is located 55 minutes North of Kelowna International Airport (YLW). Indeed this makes Silver Star the closest Western Canadian Resort from Toronto and many other Canadian & US cities!

Silver Star: Restaurants & Après
Silver Star 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 Silver Stars accommodation’s are entirely self-sufficient so you find many visitors don’t eat out. That said, there are still a number of dining options which can be looked into in greater detail here.
