Silver Star, British ColumbiaAbout Silver Star, British Columbia Inspired by a typical nineteenth century British Columbian mining town era with Victorian architecture, this town is a true winter wonderland. The mountains of British Columbia were once home to vibrant gold and silver mining towns. The prize people are now after is pure white, but the character and charm of Silver Star’s village is a page from the past with its own unique twist. The buildings are all painted vibrant colours creating a magical setting like no other. Over 700cm of the Okanagan's light dry powder snow falls on the slopes of Silver Star every year. The comfortable daytime temperatures average -3 C (27 F), is cold enough to keep the snow light and fluffy, yet perfect for skiing, riding, cross country skiing and winter activities. The standard of grooming is excellent and the quality of ski instructors at Silver Star are of a high standard, with an excellent children's ski school programme. Superb Ski-in Ski-out Accommodation From the luxurious Snowbird Lodge, the unique Victorian Vacation Homes, slopeside condos and hotels, Silver Star has a great selection of lodging for all budgets.
