North Okanagan ski hill to close for season effective March 21

Silver Star closes for season

Silver Star Mountain Resort is closing for the rest of the season.

Earlier this month, the Star announced it was closing March 15 to 22 because COVID-19 concerns, but on Tuesday, officials with the North Okanagan ski hill said their season is over.

Silverstar Mountain Resort’s owned and operated lodging properties will close on March 21 and will remain closed until further notice.

“Our decision to end the winter season was not made lightly, and it is the right choice given we are in the midst of a nation-wide public health crisis,” said Ken Derpak, general manager. “We all must do what we can to stop the spread, and our focus remains on our employees, guests and the local community staying well so that we may all have a healthy return to this adventure lifestyle we love and live for when the situation improves.”

Refunds for pre-purchased lift tickets bought at Silver Star, as well as lodging, rentals and events can be processed by contacting [email protected], or calling 1-800-663-4431.
