Winter in Kelowna brings easy access to two of British Columbia’s top ski resorts, offering everything from deep powder runs to family-friendly cruisers and cozy alpine villages.

Located just 55 minutes from downtown Kelowna, Big White Ski Resort features over 2,700 acres of skiable terrain, 119 runs, and one of Canada’s largest night-skiing areas. The resort is fully ski-in/ski-out, so you can step out your door and onto the slopes. With terrain parks, glades, groomers, tubing, Nordic trails, and après spots, Big White delivers the complete winter experience.

About an hour north, SilverStar Mountain Resort spans four distinct mountain faces and offers 3,282 acres of skiable terrain across 132 runs. Its colourful mid-mountain village is also ski-in/ski-out, making it easy to relax between laps or stay for a multi-day getaway. SilverStar is also connected to Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre, home to Canada’s largest groomed Nordic trail network.

Whether you’re a first-timer or seasoned skier, Kelowna is the perfect base for unforgettable Okanagan winter adventures.
