From the backside of Silver Star let us show you real mountains with the best powder in all of Canada!
Snowmobiling
With full blaze on over an open plateau or a technical ride through the forest, sledders have a great time making tracks in the Okanagan's premiere destination for snowmobiling. Park Mountain, the Aberdeen, Graystokes and the Keefer Lake area are a few of the snowmobiling destinations in the area.
Area accommodators have places to park your sled trailer and yourself so that you can turn a day of sledding into three days of winter escape!
The Edge of the Okanagan

BACKCOUNTRY SNOW
There's never a shortage of snow in the mountains. Weather it's riding with an established club, cutting your own trails, or booking a snowmobile tour, there's plenty of backcountry to serve everyone's needs. The Lumby/Mabel Lake Snowmobile Association provides groomed trails and maps for the Park Mountain Range, the Pinnacles, Monashee Mountains, and Silver Star.
For more information on area snowmobiling visit the Lumby Visitor Information Centre.
Backcountry Skiing & Snowshoeing
Ride a snowcat to savor incredible mountain scenery in powder heaven. The Monashee has a rich history for backcountry skiing, Monashee Powder and SOL Mountain Adventures both operate backcounty winter lodges high up in the Monashee Mountains.
For a quiet weekend or daytrip into snow, Creighton Valley and the Monashee Foothills can offer many opportunities for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
Stay in one of our B&B's or a Cozy Cabin after a day of strides around frozen lakes and crystal forests. The Monashee offers an ideal winter escape on the edge of the Okanagan.
