MORE RIDING TERRAIN AT SILVER STAR RESORT

Silver Star Mountain Resort, in the Thompson Okanagan region of BC, is now open and lifts are servicing 55 runs. This year, Silver Star has added heli-skiing, an expanded Rockstar Terrain Park and a much improved/larger learning zone. Also new is the MyMtnFlexiCard, which is valid for any three days of skiing/snowboarding during the winter and costs $179. That reduces an adult day ticket to $60. Day lift tickets include free daily access to alpine and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, tubing, skating and snowshoeing. The deadline to buy the card is Dec. 26, and it is available only to residents of BC, Alberta and Washington State. (http://www.skisilverstar.com)
