Winter is here in Vernon, and that means more fun to be had at SilverStar Mountain.
The resort will see the alpine meadows chair open on Friday, Dec. 15, along with Brewer’s Pond, Tube Town, Night Skiing and the XC Night Loop all opening up during the weekend.
“Mother Nature has delivered the snow we needed to open more lifts and terrain and we’re super excited to have these iconic activities and more terrain open for all our guests to enjoy,” said Ian Jenkins, director of sales, marketing and events at the resort. “To date this brings the resort to having five lifts and 30 runs open for some amazing skiing and riding.”
Tubing and skating will be open Friday-Sunday, 12 noon- 8 p.m., and Monday-Thursday from 3-8 p.m.
Night skiing will begin at Silver Queen and the Discovery carpet on Friday and Saturday from 3:30- 8:30 p.m, while the XC Night Loop is open until 7:30 p.m. daily.
Additionally, SilverStar announced that, during the annual Christmas Light Up, the community raised over $5,000 for the Good Food Box school program. The goal of the food box program is to raise $38,000 that supports feeding families in the North Okanagan for the next 10 months of the school year.
The money raised at the Light Up alone means SilverStar is over 50 per cent of the way towards the goal of raising $10,000.
