DESTINATIONS
APEX MOUNTAIN RESORT
What a find! A cozy village nestled at the base of a spectacular mountain. Regarded as some of the best skiing in North America, Apex boasts dry Okanagan powder, short lift lines and uncrowded slopes. In under six minutes the high-speed quad chairlift takes you to the top of the mountain. From there you can access 1112 acres of magnificent fall-line skiing and boarding. While Apex has more than its share of challenges for expert skiers, with 67runs, the area also offers beginner and intermediate skiers an inspirational experience on gentle rolling cruisers, groomed to perfection. Guests will love our Snow Sport and Adventure Centre, an innovative service, which incorporates the Ski and Snowboard School and the Rippin Rascals Kid's Club and is the central reservations point for all resort activities.
