Apex Mountain Resort has been hailed as one of the hidden gems of Canadian skiing due to its “big powder days where everyone gets first tracks”. Located a 30-minute drive from Penticton, British Columbia, Apex Mountain possesses an untouched, intimate, uncrowded, fun, yet laid back atmosphere, and has been referred to as Canada’s #1 small destination resort.

Ski Apex and enjoy a full service resort, quality snow, great weather and incredible terrain, including 450 ski-able hectares (1,112 acres), with an awesome high-speed quad lift to take you up to 605m in just 6½ minutes!

Apex Resort offers the lightest champagne powder snow imaginable, receiving around 600cm of dry powder each year. No matter what your skill level you just can't help but get better and better with terrain and conditions like this.

For beginners and intermediates you will find your full share of corduroy on gently rolling slopes. Beginners can start their day on the new magic carpet lift and by midday they may be keen to ride the high-speed quad.

Following the Ridge Run to the triple chair there are 16 wide and perfectly manicured green and blue trails to thrill all snow sport enthusiasts.

You can explore with a trip over to the south bowls or cruise through the glades, get your heart pumping on one of the steep 'n' deep narrow runs on the north side, or show off your style in the pit.

Hook up with one of the mountain hosts and you’ll soon see why they’re so passionate about this great mountain.

Apex BC is now recognised as a National Training Centre for both aerials and moguls, and with continued development of facilities and infrastructure, Apex has emerged on the world stage as one of the most attractive ski destinations in Canada.

Adrenaline junkies are well catered for with steep chutes and a super-pipe, while the whole family can have fun day and night thanks to Tim Horton’s Tube Park.

Alternatively, take a day off the slopes and attempt the ice-climbing tower, take a snowmobiling tour or explore the wonderful natural surroundings on snowshoes.
