SilverStar ski vacation comes with all the silver linings

SilverStar Mountain Resort, BC — Try this, right now: think of a place that only exists in most of our minds—a place, like a snow globe, home to endless winter adventures. Think about the most epic times you’ve had on skis or snowboard. Now close your eyes and imagine this is your basecamp for five straight days.

This place actually exists, it’s called SilverStar Mountain Resort and it's full of silver linings. Twenty minutes from downtown Vernon puts you at the heart of this snow globe, one of the world’s most epic snow-filled playgrounds.

SendahWoman (aka Louisa Cotton) is a fixture of the SilverStar scene, and explains the Star’s first Silver lining. "My silver lining to SilverStar are the relationships that I score having so much terrain variety," says this Vernon Ski Club coach. "Killer steeps in terms of the difficult skiing, enough to keep me entertained.

From the on-mountain ski and snowboard experience, to transportation and dining, SilverStar's Ultimate Ski Vacation contest nails it.

"But then my family can come out who aren’t necessarily diehards and we can all ski together, then we go for drinks, and come out and feel like we are in a snow globe."

This 2023-24 ski season, as a bonus to its everyday silver linings, the resort wants to fill your ski vacation with silver linings, with a chance to win the snow globe experience.

SilverStar's Silver Linings

It will take you longer to put your boots on than it will get to the lift. The engineering of SilverStar is the second major silver lining: a network of snow bridges, snow tunnels and 10 lifts including a high-speed gondola are all part of the experience.

SnowSeekers' publisher Jeremy Derksen saw it for himself last March, 2022, on a spring trip: "I hadn't skied here in years, and I was blown away by the new terrain and the accessibility all around," he says.
