Resort

Apex Mountain Resort remains one of the hidden gems of Canadian skiing. Located a short 30 minute drive from Penticton, BC (a quaint town bordered by two pristine lakes), Apex is a full service destination resort with quality snow, great weather, incredible terrain, and friendly people. Apex being located in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, features the perfect mix between large amounts of precipitation and low humidity that makes for the lightest champagne powder snow imaginable. Smiles stretch from ear to ear, as locals and visitors alike hoot and holler amongst the glades & open terrain, leaving clouds of powder snow to lightly settle behind them. With an average temperature of -4º C, Apex receives about 600 cm of dry "Okanagan" powder each season.

In less than six minutes the high-speed quad chairlift takes you to the top of the mountain. From there you can access 1112 acres of magnificent fall-line skiing and boarding. While Apex has more than its share of challenges for expert skiers, with 67runs, the area also offers beginner and intermediate skiers an inspirational experience on gentle rolling cruisers, groomed to perfection. Guests will love the Snow Sport and Adventure Centre, an innovative service, which incorporates the Ski and Snowboard School and the Rippin Rascals Kid's Club and is the central reservations point for all resort activities.

All in all, Apex is famous for quality and comfort. The resort is intimate and cozy. A village with everything you need all within a snowball's throw. You can’t go wrong.
