Silver Star Mountain Resort is located 22km/13mi northeast of Vernon. Follow 48th Avenue to Silver Star Road and continue to the resort.
Car Travel
The first section of the drive is through Vernon subdivisions. But most of the route involves hills, tight curves, switchbacks and steep drop-offs with few places to pass. Be patient, especially behind snow ploughs. Pay attention to posted speed signs on curves.
Winter Tires & Chains
Sections of the route are marked as deer crossings. Keep a careful lookout, particularly early in the morning and at dusk. Winter tires or chains are required on Silver Star Road from Tillicum Road to Silver Star Mountain Resort from October 1 to April 30. Driving through this area without the proper equipment, may lead to a fine.
The village centre at Silver Star is pedestrian-friendly with no vehicles permitted. Vehicles are restricted to designated parking lots for day visitors. Beyond the village centre, vehicles are permitted on residential streets.
