Welcome to SilverStar Mountain Resort. We are pleased to be hosting a stop on the Canadian Open Tour this 2016/ 17 winter season.

Walking traffic is permitted to the event site and can be accessed via Main Street Ski Way; we require all walking traffic to have a pass on them which can be picked up for free at our ticket office. SilverStar will also be hosting a Rail Jam under the lights in the village on January 7th. More information about this event can be found on our website www.skisilverstar.com. Our patrol members have kindly requested that all participants and guests be aware of our mountain policies.
