There’s 1 ski resort still open in the Thompson-Okanagan and it has 15 cm of new snow

Ski resorts around the Thompson-Okanagan have shut down for the winter, with a lone exception.

SilverStar Mountain Resort recently extended its season by one week, which means people can hit the slopes through Sunday, April 16.

It’s a good thing too, because the mountain saw 10 centimetres of snow overnight and has received 15 cm over the past 24 hours.

"We've had such a great season of snow we're staying open until April 16", says Ian Jenkins, director of sales and marketing. "With some sun and warm weather now in the forecast, it's going to be an incredible week of spring skiing and riding."

Not only is SilverStar the only resort still open for skiing and snowboarding, but lift tickets are discounted online as well.

Plus, Jenkins says there’s plenty of fun planned for the new final weekend of the 2022-23 season.

He says there will be a rail jam, DJ and beer garden in the village on Saturday.

SilverStar has seen more than 760 cm of snow throughout the winter and currently has an alpine snow base of 244 cm.
