Cross Country, Snowshoe Trails

Nov 22, 2023 | 3:30 PM

The trails will be open for cross country skiers and snowshoers at SilverStar this Friday.

The resort says 15 kilometres of Nordic trails and 14 kilometres of snowshoe trails will be open starting at 8:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 24.

Businesses on the mountain will also be opening over the weekend.

“It’s nice to see some snow and allow guests to come up and enjoy some winter. Although Mother Nature has not given us all the snow we asked for, we will be open for the season starting Friday,” Ian Jenkins, director of sales and marketing, said.

“The village restaurants will be open daily, along with the ticket office, and our retail store, Evolve. Come on up, check out all the snow, have lunch, pick up your season pass, go for a Nordic ski or simply enjoy the winter sun. You can also check out the latest in retail or get your skis/board tuned and ready for alpine opening if you have not already. You don’t want to be waiting on Alpine Opening Day.”
