What visitors say about the resort

SilverStar is praised for its colourful mining-town-style village and cross-country trails - one of the best networks in Canada. Visitors also like the dry snow, short lift queues and slope-side accommodation.

Criticism focuses on its size: the ski area is smaller than neighbouring resorts, and confident skiers can cover it in three days. The second issue is that the north side of the mountain is cold and often shaded. Visitors also complain about the road from Vernon during snowfalls.
