Big White Ski and Silver Star Mountain Resorts in BC have Merged
Big White Ski Resort and Silver Star Mountain Resort have merged, becoming one of Canada’s most exciting ski destinations! Dual mountain packages are now available to guests of both resorts. Imagine… one lift pass accessing nearly 6000 acres of skiing and boarding, with over 220 runs, unsurpassed terrain and variety serviced by 20 modern lifts. Located just 55 minutes from Kelowna International Airport, Big White is Canada’s largest totally ski-in/ski-out resort village. Long known as Canada’s affordable choice for great ski vacations, Big White is also famous for SNOW. With more than 24 feet per year of dry inland powder, there’s more than enough to go around! Abundant snowfall, mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine create ideal conditions for skiers and boarders.
With awards like “Best Kids Centre” and “Best Place to be Abandoned by Your Parents” (Ski Canada Magazine), Big White has also gained a reputation as one of North America’s best family resorts. From ski & boarding school to skating parties and movie nights, there are many fun-filled activities to keep the kids entertained at Big White Ski Resort.
Like Big White, Silver Star Resort is blessed with the world’s lightest and driest snow – more than 23 feet per year! Silver Star offers more than 2700 acres of varied terrain over two very different mountain faces, Vance Creek for families and Putnam Creek for the more adventurous. Vance Creek features gentle slopes and impeccably groomed cruisers, while Putnam Creek is renowned for its deep powder and challenging terrain.
The storybook charm of Silver Star’s Victorian-inspired village comes straight from the pages of a Dickens novel. Enjoy convenient ski-in/ski-out access to hotels, boutique retail shops, restaurants and cafes. Silver Star’s magical village offers a great selection of hotels, vacation homes and condos, each with their own unique style and hospitality.
Recent accolades for Silver Star Resort include: Best Weather, Best Family Skiing and Best Village Base (Ski Canada Magazine).
Ultimate Ski Vacations recently visited Big White and Silver Star with a group of its top travel agents. While Eastern Canada was caught in a mid-January deep freeze, the region of Kelowna saw spring-like skiing conditions at a balmy 0ºC on the hills, reinforcing its claim to fame as having the “Best Weather”, in addition to receiving warm hospitality from the ski hosts.
