In British Columbia is located Silver Star village, which is a small glamorous town sprawling cousin to the west. Sitting in the Okanagan Valley, Silver Star is one street village includes board sidewalks and Victorian storefronts that have a very cosy feel to them.
During the winter, Silver Star suggest 115 ski and snowboard trails, including 13 double-black-diamond runs. If you are rested in such a wonderful snow-world its advisable to hangout in Bagaboos Bakery, which is a lovely place with tables inside and out. There fresh European- style pastries and Dutch hot chocolate ordered at the counter make for a comfortable end-of-the-ski-day ritual.
The atmosphere in Silver Star is very delicate.There is no real grocery store in town, only three shops in which to buy souvenirs and experience little crazy night life. Many of the boutiques serve more than one purpose!
During the years the resort has becoming ski area with fantastic way of living. The village is very small as I mentioned and it’s easy to coordinate skiing with wall-climbing lessons.
As investment in the resort has increased, so have the housing prices, real estate agents say. An older two-bedroom condominium can still be found for 219,000 Canadian dollars, but some houses are starting to sell for a little more than 1 million dollars, and a three-bedroom condominium at the new Snow Bird Lodge, left, sold for 1.6 million.
