Can you believe all the snow? It’s still Nordic skier heaven at Silver Star. Had a fantastic time again this year during our annual early March ski trip. The majority of the lower village trails are good for beginners and intermediate skiers. We took the chairlift up to ski the mountain trails to Alder Point and came back to the village on Comin’ Round the Mountain.

One of my favourite trails is the Step Turn Hill. You gotta pay attention to the corners on this trail – it’s a whole lot of fun and a great trail to practise your step turns. If you’re looking for a nice spot to grab a bite, then I’d recommend Bugaboos Bakery & Cafe in the village. They serve the best coffee - the place is always hoppin’ and never disappoints! For a different dining experience we took the sleigh ride trip up to Horseman’s Cabin for a traditional home-cooked style meal. All in all another super Silver Star trip!
