Artwork backstory
Artwork backstory
SilverStar - Putnam Creek in Vernon, British Columbia
Painted in 2013
>Located outside Vernon, BC, Silver Star is one of those interior BC ski areas that not enough people are familiar with. For some reason, its neighbors get all the hype. And that’s fine since it keeps the crowds down at Silver Star. But, anyone who’s experienced a pow day at Silver Star will be happy to explain what makes it so special. And a good place to start is its size. With 132 named runs, 2,500 vertical feet of relief, and 3,200 acres of skiable terrain, this is no podunk town hill. Instead, it’s a big, fun resort with a nice mix of terrain. On top of that, it’s easy to visit, there’s plenty of on-mountain lodging, and it’s only forty miles from the Kelowna airport.
