Resort is installing another new chairlift to give skiers and snowboarders quick and easy
access to their favourite terrain for the 2006-07 season. This new Alpine Meadows
chairlift will start at the base of the existing Mid-T bar end at the top of the mountain.
The Doppelmayr 'Unistar' fixed-grip quad chairlift covers a vertical of 229 metres (750
feet) and is 743 metres (2,400 feet) in length.
This new lift follows the expansion into Silver Woods last year, which included
a the Silver Woods Express, a high-speed detachable quad lift accessing brand new terrain
of 10 runs and 5 gladed areas.

Vernon,
BC – BC ALPINE has awarded
Silver

“ALPINE RESORT OF THE YEAR 2006.” Silver Star Mountain Resort was the host of the Pontiac Cup Slalom

Mountain Resort was awarded this
coveted honour. A special thanks was given to Tim McCoy, head of the
grooming department at Silver Star, and his staff.
Bruce Holiday of BC Alpine stated, “In all the years I
have been involved in alpine racing I has never seen a fleet of groomers till the race slope between 1st and 2nd
runs to provide a safe race surface for the competitors.”
Silver Star will
continue its proud heritage of providing great race training facilities,
world-class races and events. With the new
TELUS

 It was the
biggest news to hit western Canadian ski resorts this winter as Silver Star Mountain
Resort opened up some incredible new terrain for skiers and snowboarders this season.
The new Silver Woods area has 10 runs and 5 gladed areas to play in - as well as
a brand new high-speed detachable quad express chairlift, the Silver Woods Express. With
1,200 feet (340 metres) of vertical, this lift will take you to the top in 5 minutes so
you can explore all 360 acres of this new terrain!
The exciting new runs in Silver Woods feature mainly intermediate blue runs, but
also some black diamonds for those seeking a true challenge.
Add this to the 23 feet of champagne powder and you've got the perfect mix of
immaculately groomed runs and exciting tree skiing.
