Penticton is the ultimate basecamp for your winter adventures. Nestled between two world-class ski hills and a Nordic centre, you can reach the slopes in under an hour.

• • Apex Mountain Resort: A short 30-minute drive from downtown, with some of the best skiing in BC (dry champagne powder, 2,000 vertical feet with 85 runs on 1,112 skiable acres) with short lift lines and offering backcountry access, a forest skating loop, tubing, and night activities.

  • Baldy Mountain Resort: Just an hour south for a true high-alpine escape, and one of BC’s highest-elevation resorts (1,315 vertical feet, 2,310 m/7,580 ft summit) offering 600 acres of groomed/gladed runs, cat skiing, snowshoeing, tubing and winter disc golf.

  • Nickel Plate Nordic Centre: A scenic 40-minute drive from downtown, and just 10 minutes past Apex Mountain Resort, offering one of the longest ski seasons in Canada with 45km of groomed trails for both classic and skate skiing and 22.5km of marked snowshoe trails, including K9 trails.

Why wait for the snow to fly? Grab your early bird lift tickets while the sun is still shining.
