The Silver Star Ski Resort is just outside Vernon, BC and that's
where I went to find out what
activities the resort offers. I took my camera to Tubetown to
discover just how fast the tubes slide.

I went searching for the classic Big White ski run, i was recommended a run to try out but didn't find it. I still had a great time exploring the resort and looking for my own classic run.

If your legs are worn out from skiing,
a great alternative is a dog sledding trip at the Sun Peaks Ski Resort, you even get to mush your own sled.

I took a trip up to the Sun Peaks Ski Resort near Kamloops, BC, and just happened to arrive during their annual Ice Wine Festival.. The festival features the best wines and foods of the Okanagan, the chocolate was pretty good as well!

After a long day on the slopes at the Big White Ski Resort I wanted to find a recommendation for a good place to relax and enjoy the Apres Ski scene. Some locals suggested Snowshoe Sams and they were right. The food and drink were great and the place filled up quickly. Definitely the place to be for Apres Ski!

Kelowna, Snowmobiling
This is absolutely the best way to check out the rest of the valley and the incredible views around the Big White Ski Resort. It takes about 5 minutes to learn how to ride the snowmobiles, and then you're off. Hang on tight though, its a bumpy ride!

The skiing is great at Big White, but if you need a break or you want to try something a little easier for the whole family then you definitely have to try "tubing". All you have to do is grab an inner tube, get hitched up to the lift for a ride to the top and then hang on as you spin your way back down the hill. There's even a fire pit with hot chocolate nearby!

I spent the day skiing up at the Apex Ski Resort and wanted to check out the Apres Ski scene. I was told there were a few different options available but the classic place to go was the Gunbarrel Saloon. There was a fun crowd, great music, food and drinks! In the restaurant area they were serving these crazy coffee drinks which were set on fire down the barrel of an old shotgun! The staff were great, the atmosphere was fun and there was even this crazy game where you hammer nails into a stump of wood. Definitely worth checking out!
