Big White and Silver Star Ski Resorts

Big White and Silver Star resorts are bursting with pride at their recent accolades from the press. UK's Good Ski Guide selected Big White as its Golden Ski Award winner for Best Family Resort in North America, and voted Silver Star as Best Small Resort in North America! It's easy to see why. Both resorts are blessed with dependable, 100% natural snowfall - over 23 feet of champagne powder, annually. Glades, bowls, cruisers, and bumps - each mountain holds its own special challenges. The expansive terrain - over 2500 skiable acres at each resort - is serviced by state-of-the-art high-speed lifts, while grooming machines lay down a fresh corduroy carpet every night.

Big White and Silver Star are leaders in providing exceptional family vacations and offer renowned kids' instructional programs and daycare facilities. Once the lifts shut down, each village comes alive with a whole variety of activities for the entire family - fly down a snowy track on an inflatable rubber tube at the tubing park, skate or play hockey on the outdoor rinks, blast around the snowmobile track, snowshoe though the dark and silent woods, or take a dog-sled tour or horse-drawn sleigh ride. Restaurants and licensed pubs abound for that apres-ski drink or long, luxurious meal.

Big White is Canada's largest totally ski-in/ski-out winter resort, with accommodation for over 13,000 guests. On the trails and up in the alpine bowls, Big White offers an expansive 'big mountain' ski and snowboard experience for skiers of all ability levels -low-level intermediates love making those first powder turns in our gently-pitched bowls and glades.

Silver Star's renowned Victorian-era village features pastel-coloured storefronts with ornately decorative trim that creates its own special ambience. The skiing at Silver Star is both 'mild' and 'wild' - easy, widely spaced runs and glades on the Vance Creek side, and everything from velvety-smooth groomed runs to steep, gnarly glade skiing on the Putnam Creek. Silver Star boasts a mild climate and constant, reliable powder snow, all at a comfortable altitude.

Come to Big White and Silver Star Mountain Resorts and experience the most enjoyable, hassle-free ski or snowboard vacation of your life! All of the staff, from ski school instructors to retail staff to hotel personnel, are at your service to create a memorable Canadian skiing experience.
