Silver Star Mountain Resort
A mountaintop resort near Vernon, with a colorful Victorian-style village, winter skiing and summer mountain biking.
Silver Star Mountain lies about 20 km northeast of Vernon. The summit village is styled after a 19th-century gold rush town, with buildings painted in bright reds, yellows, blues and greens. In winter it is known for dry powder snow, more than a hundred ski runs, and one of North America's top cross-country ski trail networks. In summer, gondolas carry visitors uphill, where you can ride downhill mountain bike trails, hike and see alpine wildflowers. It lies about 70 km from Kelowna and is often paired with Big White as the two major ski resorts of the Okanagan.
