FAMILY-FRIENDLY EVENTS
The ski season at Silver Star is packed with
events geared for families, starting with Light
Up, which features fireworks, fire dancers and an
artisanal market to kick off the holiday season. The
second-largest winter festival in North America,
Vernon Winter Carnival is held every February
and includes ice sculpture competitions and a fat
bike/snowshoe race at Sovereign Lake. The Family
Day weekend includes free family photos atop the
mountain and complimentary hot cocoa.
SKI IN/SKI OUT HIGH TEA
B.C.'s only ski in/ski out high tea outside of Whistler,
the afternoon tea ($60 per person) that launched
last season at D'Argento (which turns into a hand-
cut pasta joint at night) is a once-a-month event
where diners can sashay in from the slopes to
enjoy an elevated array of afternoon nibbles.
Finger sandwiches, scones and handmade pastries
are on offer, paired with loose-leaf teas served in
fine china, or perhaps an amaro or other aperitif
if you fancy a warm up.
