Big White caters to the whole family as well, from a massive ice skating rink to dog sledding and restaurants, Big White has something for everyone. Big White’s “snow ghosts” (trees completely covered in snow) help add a magical atmosphere that only improves the already beautiful scenery.
Silverstar Mountain Resort
Silverstar’s perfectly manicured runs and plentiful snowfall make it an amazing spot for both skiers and snowboarders. The variety of terrain caters to everyone, from beginners on wide-open green runs to experts seeking challenging black diamonds. Silverstar is a smaller mountain than Big White, but still has plenty of family amenities including snowmobiling and backcountry tours, while the colorful ski village makes for incredible family photos.
Apex Mountain
One of the smaller mountains in the Okanagan, Apex attracts plenty of experienced skiers and snowboarders with its challenging runs and top-notch powder. While the distinct mountain offers plenty of steep chutes and moguls, the mountain also offers more mellow runs designed for beginners. Apex also shines with its night skiing, where you can ski or snowboard under the stars. Off the slopes, an extensive ice-skating loop around a frozen lake offers a serene, natural experience surrounded by snowy forest.
Sun Peaks Resort
Sun Peaks offers incredible variety, with three mountain faces and numerous runs that cater to every type of skier or snowboarder. The dry, fluffy powder here makes it a dream for carving down the mountain. Beyond skiing, Sun Peaks has a picturesque, European-style village that creates an inviting atmosphere for individuals looking to explore more than just the mountain.
Revelstoke Mountain Resort
A lot of skiers and snowboarders have Revelstoke Mountain on their bucket list because of the incredible powder conditions the mountain provides. Sometimes snowing over 1000 centimeters a year, Revelstoke Mountain is an ideal location for those who crave deep powdery snow and challenging runs. Revelstoke also offers heli-skiing to give more adventure to those looking to ski or snowboard an untouched mountain.
