Peter and Max,
Count me in! This would be a unique and exceptional adventure. 
I’m good to go either date, that works best for the members.
Thank you!

While I have talked to a few club members about making this an unofficial club outing next season, I wanted to get the word out to everyone to gauge the level of interest.

The two areas consist of 105km of groomed trails that will satisfy all ski levels. Silver Star also has alpine skiing and some of the chairlifts can be used by XC skiers to get to trails higher up on the mountain. All of the accommodations that I am aware of are ski in/ski out. When I went I rented a house with others through VRBO though there are several hotels that are reasonably priced especially considering the favorable US exchange rate with the Canadian dollar. The closest airport is in Kelowna which is about an hour shuttle ride to Silver Star. When I flew there in the past, I was able to fly through either Seattle or Phoenix. It appears that Seattle is the only current US airport with a direct flight to Kelowna.

If you are interested, please let me know which week works best for you in the next couple of weeks as some of the accommodations are starting to fill up. You are not committed to anything if you say you are interested.
