APEX MOUNTAIN RESORT

Apex is located in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, and that means the perfect mix between large amounts of precipitation and low humidity that makes for the lightest champagne powder snow imaginable. And with an average temperature of -4º C, Apex receives about 600 cm (19 feet) of dry "Okanagan" powder each season.

You'll find a varienty of terrain, from the smoothest of cruisers to the steepest of chutes. Beginner to experienced will find approprate, exquisite skiing here.

In addition to skiing, you take a sleigh ride, or a snowmobile tour. Or perhaps a snowshoe tour is what will suit you.

Whatever your ski level, Apex has awesome lifts, with a high-speed quad that delivers 2000 feet of vertical in just six and a half minutes to 1112 skiable acres. With a total uphill capacity 6700 riders per hour, you are sure to get around the mountain quickly.

Awards

Apex has won numerous awards, including Best Steeps and Best Grooming. Apex is now recognized as a National Training Centre for both Aerials and Moguls.

Some quotes that describe Apex are: "big powder days where everyone gets first tracks"; "for those who want to get away from the hustle & bustle"; "actively adventurous and yet low-key"; and "this is the place where the whole group is satisfied regardless of age and ability".

Apex Mountain Resort really is justified in calling itself one of the hidden gems of Canadian skiing.
