About travelling from Silver Star, BC to Kelowna Airport (YLW)
SilverStar is a vibrant, family-friendly ski destination in the North Okanagan, celebrated for its light, powdery snow and welcoming ski-in/ski-out village. The mountain offers a perfect mix of terrain: the front side features long, groomed runs ideal for families and intermediate skiers, while Putnam Creek Express accesses challenging black and double-black runs for advanced skiers and snowboarders. The snow here is famously dry and consistent, typical of BC’s interior mountains.
The village itself is compact, colourful, and full of character, with Victorian-style buildings right on the slopes. Visitors will find an array of casual cafés, bars, and restaurants, as well as shops and other amenities, all within easy walking distance — a setup that’s made SilverStar particularly appealing to families.
In the summer months, the resort transforms into a top destination for mountain biking, boasting a network of downhill and cross-country trails. There’s also hiking, scenic chairlift rides, and seasonal festivals, giving the village a lively yet laid-back summer atmosphere.
Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is the nearest airport, with flights connecting Vancouver, Seattle, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, and Los Angeles.
