Thompson Okanagan Skiing (Downhill)
Silver Star Mountain Resort, Don Weixl photo
The Thompson Okanagan is renowned for its family-friendly ski resorts with terrain to satisfy every level of ability.
Pleasant winter weather and light, dry powder prevails in this region. Three Thompson Okanagan resorts were awarded “Best Weather in the West” from Ski Canada magazine (2007), and up to 7m/23ft of snow can fall on the slopes in a single season.
All four major resorts here have excellent ski-in ski-out accommodations. Ski Canada magazine recognized their convenience by including some of them as the “Best Choice for Lazybones who like to Ski Straight from their Doors” (2008).
