We woke up to a beautiful blue sky and perfect snow. We longingly watched the skiers fly past as we ate our breakfast before we hopped into our mini van for the 90 minute transfer to Silver Star. Upon my first glimpse of Silver Star, I fell in love with this place - the multi coloured buildings are so eye catching.

After checking in we walked a few footsteps in the main village to have a look around. We had to be careful of the skiers going past, as ALL of this resort is a ski area it seems, including the main street. This place has the most amazing buzz in the air - I love it. It’s smaller than Big White but has everything you need from a small supermarket, to amazing pasteries at Bugaboos, to a tasty variety of cafes and restaurants. Just remember that the Nacho servings are HUGE if you have any!

This afternoon we decided to book ourselves on a snowmobiling tour and then ski all of tomorrow. What an awesome decision that was!! We headed out into the back country areas of the mountain for three hours with a stop at a log cabin for some warmth. We saw snow ghost, after snow ghost, pristine untouched snow, and outstanding views.

I would say this was a highlight of my trip but every day seems to be a new highlight – this whole country is a highlight for me!!
