Silver Star


"...team up Silver Star with Big White for a fantastic dual mountain family holiday...beware of the Darkside, Silver Star's infamous Putnam Creek with it's Black & Double Black Diamond runs - test your skills on Three Wise Men. My skills are more suited to the Vance Creek and Silver Woods areas with their Blue Cruisers and just the odd Black thrown in to keep me from being lazy..."

Ski Traveller 

Resort

Silver Star is Big White's sister resort, your lift pass is valid at both mountains and they have GREAT Dual Mountain Deals and Specials to encourage you to experience both mountains. You access both resorts from Kelowna Airport via an easy shuttle ride making them one of the easiest dual mountain holidays, especially good for families.

Silver Star has a world class Ski Academy, with a GREAT Kids Ski Academy training program designed for 8 - 17 years olds. This race training programme runs over three weeks in January each season.
