Resort Info
Silver Star is always a popular trip for both Nordic and Alpine skiers. Alpine terrain includes both the extreme challenge of Putnam Creek and the “early season warm-up” runs of Vance Creek. Nordic trails include 60 km at Silver Star plus 45 at Sovereign Lakes Provincial Park. Excellent early season snow for Nordic skiing! Charming, Victorian inspired village offers convenient ski-in, ski-out access to Silver Star’s boutique retail shops, restaurants and cafés. As the Lift pass is good at both areas, one day trip to Big White is also included. Additional trips can be arranged at member cost.
