You can find bigger vertical elsewhere, but the skiing is fantastic, especially for steeps and bumps and all the wild n' crazy double black diamond stuff. So it was I was also stoked when I read Ski Canada magazine has also named Silver Star as one of the best skiing values, not only in Canada, but in the world. In his annual global survey of lift ticket prices at major resorts, Ski Canada journalist Doug Sager charted the cost of a day's skiing at 50 resorts in 16 countries. His survey examined not only price, but the amount of skiing terrain offered by each resort. What Doug found Silver Star has the lowest lift ticket price of all major resorts in Canada.
Silver Star is the third best skiing value in the world.
When comparing lift ticket cost with acres of ski terrain offered by individual resorts, Sager finds that all best value resorts are Canadian, and Silver Star ranks third. First is Whistler at 109 acres of skiing per dollar. Lake Louise is second at 78 acres per dollar. Silver Star ranks third at 64 acres per dollar. Sunshine and Panorama round out the list.
