Canada

Silver Star ski holidays offer a very Canadian experience, an authentic ski resort with colourful buildings, easy beginner slopes and super-challenging steeps.

With a huge variety of terrain, Silver Star is great for all abilities. A two-sided resort, the south face has easy skiing for beginners and improvers, while the back-side has steep chutes and tree runs - the double blacks from the top of the Powder Gulch Express are particularly testing.

In Silver Star village, colourful buildings cluster around a ski-through main street. Compact and traffic-free, it’s a great place for families, and the excellent Star Kids Centre takes children from 18 months.

There’s more going here than first meets the eye, with some great local gems such as Bugaboos Bakery Café and Mogul's Sports Bar. The Knoll area is a lovely place for an evening stroll, and several off-piste activities are included on your lift pass, such as cross-country skiing and tubing.

For longer stays or a BC ski safari, Silver Star makes a good combination with Big White and Sun Peaks.

"Silver Star is a hidden gem - although popular with locals, it’s still relatively unknown in the UK."

Silver Star remains a favourite, small and friendly village feel but plenty of terrain and variety for all.

Great resort for all skiing abilities. Ski in ski out accommodation at the Snowbird Lodge. Small supermarket with reasonable amount of food choices. Enough restaurants to eat out for a few days.

Great place to ski for all levels and not at all busy. Ski in/ski out accommodation was a plus. It has an efficient lift system giving great access to all areas. Restaurants are ok, but nothing to rave about. Supermarket reasonably well stocked.

B says 5, R says 4 as skiing a bit limited- long roads to Backside blue runs and outlying runs. European skiers beware - piste signage very limited. Only improvement would be for Ski Hosts to be available pm as well as am, although they are out to give guidance in afternoon. Resort very compact and restaurants offer good variety of food although not numerous. Store expensive but not unusual for sk…

Ok, but quite a small village and not all restaurants open every day or some week days so may be difficult to stay there for a whole week or more. Resort seemed more for locals or people in condos that could self cater or get to Vernon for supplies.

Amazing resort. Lovely quaint village, good variations of bars and restaurants. All easy access from hotel (no bus rides required). Fantastic skiing, easy access to the slopes and plenty of other activities to do as well.

We booked a self drive, multi resort holiday with Ski Safari where we flew into Vancouver, hired a car and then skied at Whistler, Silver Star, Revelstoke and the Banff ski resorts of Lake Louise and Sunshine. We finished off the holiday with a 4 night stay near Tofino on Vancouver Island. We skied a few days in each ski resort and loved the different vibe in each resort. Our favourites were Whist…
