Pacific Group Resorts has acquired SilverStar Mountain Resort from POWDR this week with the resort’s full leadership team staying in place and no operational changes planned for the coming season.
Two of its Pacific Group Resorts mountains are now located in Canada – SilverStar and Mt Washington, both in British Columbia. The company also acquired Powderhorn Mountain Resort in Colorado earlier this year and Jay Peak Resort in Vermont in 2022.
They also have Wisp Resort in Maryland. Collectively, PGR offers over 7,000 acres of skiable terrain, downhill mountain biking, 99 holes of golf, adventure parks, lodging, dining, and wellness experiences.
“SilverStar is an extraordinary resort with a loyal community and a spirit that aligns perfectly with PGR’s values,” said Mark K. Fischer, President and CEO of Pacific Group Resorts.
“In ten years of operating Mount Washington Alpine Resort on Vancouver Island, we’ve developed a deep appreciation for what it takes to thrive in the British Columbia mountain resort landscape. SilverStar is a natural extension of our resort family and reflects our long-term commitment to embracing the mountain culture and the communities that make each of our properties unique.”
Fischer explained part of the rationale behind the SilverStar acquisition saying, “This mountain fits squarely within our strategy of expanding into high-quality regional destinations with strong local roots. We firmly believe SilverStar is one of those rare places where families and friends can build and renew bonds that enrich their lives in ways few other environments can. Our hope is to expand the reach of the resort so more people across Canada and the U.S. can experience SilverStar.”
