We all know that SilverStar Mountain Resort in Canada is home to some seriously good powder skiing but did you know this….

SilverStar is the third largest ski area in British Columbia

SilverStar boasts 3269 acres of skiable terrain including four distinct mountain faces and 132 runs. The progressive terrain is perfect for learning and for the more adventurous, the backside of the mountain is an un-crowded paradise of over 1,900 acres of steep and deep, black and double black diamond runs.

SilverStar is twice as good in February and March

SilverStar has long been a favourite for Australian families in January thanks to southern summer school holidays. Which makes February and March hidden gems with no lift queues, a deeper snow base, consistent snowfalls, longer daylight hours, and cheaper airfares. Why wouldn’t you?

SilverStar has a new Academy Ski Program to improve your skills

The all-new SilverStar SnowSports Academy is ‘The Ultimate Canadian Winter Adventure’. The new program that is the brainchild of SilverStar’s award winning Snowsports School.

The SnowSports Academy is a 5-day ski/board development program combining over 23 hours of top tier on-snow tuition, with fun off- snow social experiences. Available for adults over 3 weeks in January, February and March during the 2016/17 winter season, the Academy will be expanded to accommodate all age groups throughout the 2017/2018 winter.
