Whistler Blackcomb virtually defines the big-mountain resort scene with the highest vertical, biggest acreage, most glaciers, best glades, a renowned terrain park and, arguably, the world’s best mountain bike park.
Located an hour out of Kelowna, this is the place for the best snow. It was awarded the North American family resort of the year in 2006 so it does have a really nice feel about it.
Silver Star Mountain is located in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. It has a uniquely visual ad colourful Victorian style village. Silver Star Village is a fully serviced, pedestrian-only village which means once you’ve arrived, there is no need for a car; everything you need is within walking distance.
Subsidised staff accomodation available.
Nakiska is designed as a National Training Centre by Alpine Canada Aplin, and is used today as a pre-season training facility for teams from around the world.
