The nearby Monashee Mountains boast consistent amounts of light, dry powder snow that challenges every level of downhill enthusiast. Four ski resorts within a short drive from the City (Big White, Silver Star, Crystal Mountain and Apex) offer a wide selection of amenities beyond the major attractions of skiing or snowboarding. Big White is the closest to Kelowna and is considered by residents to be the local mountain.
Winter is a great season in the Okanagan and cross-country skiing enthusiasts will enjoy the serenity of our wilderness. In addition to the trails available at the major ski resorts, Kelowna has several active cross-country ski clubs that maintain approximately 85 kms (50 mi) of groomed trails in the area that are easily accessible.

Kelowna’s love-affair with things of the earth is as old as the city itself. The community’s roots in orcharding and agriculture account for a way of life which nurtures, cherishes, and respects earth’s offspring. Add to this collective history the region’s microclimate and predisposition for a long growing season, and the city flourishes.
All summer long, visitors can learn about the produce and flora of this fertile region at a variety of orchards. Rediscover the taste of freshness from our friendly farm community.
