Silverstar Mountain

Home / Ski Resorts / Silverstar Mountain Ski Resort

Silverstar Mountain Ski Resort is a ski area located in the province of British Columbia in Canada. The resort is in the town of Spallumcheen, BC.

We recently ranked all of British Columbia's ski resorts, so you can see where Silverstar Mountain stacks up against all its nearby ski hills!

Season Passes

Silverstar Mountain is not a part of any nationwide lift ticket system. Passes such as Epic, IKON, or Mountain Collective allow pass holders to ski at multiple mountians with a single purchase. Unfortunately, none of those passes work with Silverstar Mountain Ski Resort. To purchase season passes, you'll need to visit Silverstar Mountain's website.

Lodging Options

There are numerous options to stay at Silverstar Mountain around the resort. Check out the available options with the form below.

Silverstar Mountain Ski Resort Elevation

Silverstar Mountain Ski Resort has a summit elevation of 6,283 feet, or 1,915 meters. However, not all of that elevation is able to be skied. The base of the ski slope sits at 3,780 feet above sea level, creating a ski hill that is 2,503 feet (763 meters) high. This is referred to as the slope's vertical drop - or a measure of how high the skiable hill is.

Silverstar Mountain's summit elevation is higher than average. There are a lot of ski slopes that are much higher than this one (some stretch to 12,000 feet!), but it is not small by any stretch of the imagination.

Silverstar Mountain Ski Resort Difficulty Level

Score
Difficulty Score™
63.9out of 100
←  EasyHard  →
Silverstar Mountain's difficulty level of 63.9 is above average. 83% of its trails rated as either intermediate or expert-level, which doesn't leave much for the beginners.
 DID YOU KNOW?

At Parks & Trips, we've created a proprietary Difficulty Score that attempts to show how difficult a particular ski slope is. We get to this number by combining a number of metrics for each resort and comparing them to its peers. Most of the score is based off the amount of easy-intermediate-expert slopes by acreage and the maximum vertical drop of the overall resort, but also includes a few lesser-used metrics as well.

Our algorithm compares each resort’s metrics with all others in North America, then assigns each a Difficulty Score, which we use to rank them accordingly. Resorts with a lower score are easier to ski than those with a higher one. However, a high score does not mean that the resort does not have any easy slopes, or vice versa. This is just an overall score given to the resort based on all its metrics grouped together.

Skiable Terrain by Difficulty Level

Silverstar Mountain has 3,282 total skiable acres, which can be broken down into the three main groups of difficulty: Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert.

Silverstar Mountain's difficulty level is higher than average, which is because 44% of its ski trails are rated as intermediate, and another 39% as expert.
Green Circle
Beginner
17%(548 acres)

Beginner trails (identified by a green circle) are the easiest trails on the hill with a gradual 25% or less gradient, and are usually wide to accommodate beginner skiers.

Blue Square
Intermediate
44%(1,457 acres)

Intermediate trails (identified by a blue square) are usually the most popular and crowded runs, which have a slope of anywhere between 25-40%.

Black Diamond
Expert
39%(1,277 acres)

Expert trails (identified by a black diamond... or two) are the hardest slopes on the mountain, and have very steep gradients over 40%.

Is Silverstar Mountain Ski Resort good for beginners?

Silverstar Mountain is above average in its difficulty level, so... probably not? It will depend on which trails you take since only 61% of its trails rated for either beginner or intermediate skill levels.
