VERNON WEATHER

Its new My1Pass program offers guests six snow-filled experiences all with one pass - among them skiing, snowboarding, tubing, cross-country, snowshoeing and ice-skating. Located just outside of the town of Vernon, B.C., and 30 minutes north of Kelowna's International Airport, SilverStar Mountain Resort is a stellar destination. The condos, townhouses and slope-side accommodations provide a colourful backdrop to the main event which is on the slopes. Resort bylaws mandate purples, oranges and blues for the on-site buildings. Paired with its neighbour Sovereign Lakes Provincial Park, you'll find more than 100 km of cross-country ski bliss in addition to outstanding skiing and snowboarding for all levels.
