Apex Mountain Resort is one of British Columbia’s hidden treasures, thanks to deep Canadian powder and varied terrain.
This South Okanagan mountain, located 30 minutes from Penticton, boasts an impressive six m (19 ft) of dry snow each year. Lace up your skates for a magical 1-km (0.6-mi) Adventure Skating Loop or for a pick-up game of hockey, or glide along 56 km (35 mi) of cross-country trails at Nickel Plate Nordic Centre. There’s plenty to do in and around this cozy ski-in/ski-out village.
