Silver Star is a great resort near Vernon offering a wide variety of ski terrain as well as other activities to keep the whole family amused. The quaint village has a number of good restaurants and bars but don't expect much crazy late night life (other than the saloon on the weekends). There is tubing, bowling, indoor climbing, snow mobiles and ice skating to keep the kids entertained after a day on slopes. There is great skiing terrain from green runs for beginners all the way to a large number of double black runs on the backside for the more initiated. Kids will love exploring all the tree trails and Peanut trail is a firm favourite. All marked runs are well maintained with a number well groomed nightly. The ski school has brilliant instructors that got us and the kids skiing all over mountain with confidence. Our instructor was patient and really enthusiastic throughout our lesson. The kids actually looked forward to going back the next day! There was also an option for our 3 year old to have a 1 hour private lesson while spending the day in the Star Kids daycare and it was great to see him sliding about and working on his snowplough turns.
