Cross Country Skiing

The Vernon area has two great places for you to get out in the fresh, crisp air and take part in some cross country skiing.

SilverStar Mountain Resort has over 55 km (35 mi) of trails ranging from Green to Blue to Black. Adjacent Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre has another 50 km (31 mi) of connecting trails making the two areas the largest groomed network of cross-country ski trails in Canada. 

Ride to the upper trails by taking the ski lifts at SilverStar Mountain Resort during regular operating hours, or use the cross-mountain trails that lead you to the connecting trails to Sovereign Lake. At the Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre, you'll find a full service day lodge, ski school, rentals, night skiing options (lit or by headlamp), and a biathlon range.

The terrain at both these locations is perfect for first timers and experts. Both Sovereign Lake and SilverStar have lessons and equipment rentals.
