Locals start to get excited as soon as they see white flakes falling from the sky. When winter comes, there are an abundance of snow activities to keep you entertained in the Vernon area:
Alpine Ski or snowboard the champagne powder at SilverStar Mountain Resort.
Snowmobile for miles in the back country. The Vernon snowmobile club grooms 160 kms of trails and maintains the Silver Star Chalet and the Armstrong Cabin emergency & warm-up shelters.
Ice skate or play hockey outdoors on the Centennial outdoor rink once the temperature drops or experience the magic skating on Brewer’s pond at SilverStar Mountain Resort.
Check out the winter hiking trails on the Ribbons of Green map.
