Staff Perks:

What Kind Of Accommodation Options Are There At SilverStar?

There are several lodging options for staff at SilverStar. Private rentals in Vernon and on the mountain are an excellent choice, especially when sharing the cost with friends. Staff accommodation is also available on the mountain and is a great way to meet people – but keep in mind it is shared accommodation and space can be limited.

  • Private Rentals in Vernon – Vernon offers some very cost-effective options, but keep in mind you’ll need a car, or will have to rely on the staff bus for transportation to and from work.
  • On-Mountain Private Rentals – Private rentals on the mountain go very quickly (and early pre-season), but can be a great option if sharing with friends. We recommend going to our Staff Facebook Page for opportunities to find private and shared accommodation options.
  • On-Mountain Staff Accommodation – SilverStar has two large accommodation buildings for staff, which offers an option for all, including couples. Both buildings are located steps from our village center. This slopeside accommodation comes complete with a large common area, shared kitchen, and staff lounges. Rooms are typically shared between four staff and can be an excellent way to meet people.
Size of the resort: Employs over 450 staff during the winter season.

Staff Housing: The location comes with shared staff housing on the mountain. As this is a ski-in/ski-out location you can literally ski out of staff housing onto the runs!  All staff is guaranteed a bed through TWHC.

Ongoing extension of contracts are based on seasonal performance and at the determination of management, as is housing. If in doubt – ask your manager.

A big mountain with a small town feel is what makes SilverStar so special – all the terrain you’d expect at a larger resort, without the crowds. All with true mid-mountain Ski-in, ski-out access.

SilverStar overlooks the beautiful Okanagan Valley, located in the heart of the British Columbia interior. Prized for its wineries and amazing summers, the Okanagan is also home to some of the best snow conditions in the world – over seven metres fall each winter.

Through the winter season, SilverStar runs a staff bus to and from Vernon multiple times a day. This provides our employees with easy access to additional shopping outlets, movie theatres and other activities. There are also several convenient pick-up and drop-off locations.

Staff living in Vernon can also catch this bus to help them get to and from work. There are also several convenient pick-up and drop-off locations.

Basically this resort is at elevation and is all ski in and ski out. Once you arrive at SilverStar everything is within walking distance. This resort offers a variation of skiing terrain, loads of cross country skiing trails and in the summer – a killer bike park, fully accessed by the lift system!!! In the summer this area is also wine growing country and sits close to many large lakes!!! One of the best cheese and ham croissants you’ll ever try! There is also an ice rink for the skaters and hockey fans

Saturation of Aussie is moderate to high. There is also a large population of various other nationalities to dilute the concentration of Australians, from Ireland, UK, Denmark & Sweden.

The average temperature is somewhere between -5 & -10 at the village elevation. 

Progression opportunities are available for dedicated staff who are prepared to have back to back season.

This resort has 3283 acres of skiable terrain. All natural snow as this location does not have any snow making facilities. Lots of epic powder, great tree-skiing and killer chutes.
