Okanagan

The Okanagan is where skiing in British Columbia meets stunning scenery and epic experiences. Road trip, anyone? Hit the road through the Okanagan to shred world-class slopes, savour farm-to-table meals, sip on local wines, and relax in cozy accommodations that capture the winter charm of the region. Deep snow and ski culture are at the heart of the Okanagan skiing experience.

Picture this: you’ve just skied down Attridge Face at SilverStar Resort, and you stop to catch your breath and the spectacular view overlooking one of Canada’s largest lakes. What. a. sight.

Or, you're skiing knee-deep pow on Serwa's Run at Big White, and you bump into the Olympian whose grandfather is the run's namesake, and resort founder. Next, you're at Sun Peaks, and up pops Nancy Green herself!

Snowboarding and skiing in the Okanagan is the perfect blend of adventure, flavour, beauty and local vibes. Check out the stories below for insider tips, hacks, and ideas to plan your next Okanagan trip!
