SilverStar Colourful Village Condos: Budget Hacks for Family Ski-In, Ski-Out
Notice: We use affiliate links in our mountain guides and may earn a commission on hotel bookings or gear purchases at no cost to you.

SilverStar Mountain Resort has one of the most striking base villages anywhere: modelled on a 19th-century BC mining town, it’s a burst of bright colour against deep snow. It’s also a dream layout for families — the village sits above the main lift bases, so almost every condo block, inn and chalet offers easy ski-in, ski-out access.
Because SilverStar focuses on families, condos dominate. Base your group in a suite with a full kitchen and you skip expensive resort dining and maximise your time on snow.
