Sun at Silver Star

What better way to reward 2 friends who have had a pretty horrendous journey with the best days skiing possible. We had 20cms of new snow (the silver lining to Kelowna airport being closed) and every cloud had spontaneously decided to bugger off to Edmonton and leave us with brilliant blue skies...



We booked an apartment in the Silver Creek Lodge which is ski in/out and overlooks the final run into the village and there are two hot tubs on the roof to soak those tired legs in



Day one of holiday proper Adella set about comparing the quality of cinnimon buns in various eateries on and around the mountain. We later discovered that this indepth study was not limited to Silver Star but had commenced in Vancouver airport on Wednesday with further samples on Thursday morning (just in case things had gone to pot bun-wise overnight). Thursday afternoon saw an alternative pastry brought in for comparison with Tim Bits (donut holes, as they're holes there's no calories!) at Kelowna airport.

Friday and Saturday saw some serious skiing as the legs warmed up, lunches at Paradise Camp ('best burgers EVER' our independent consultant stated, taking a well earned break from C. Bun research). We headed back down the mountain on Saturday for a overnight stop at our cottage and a tour of the neighbourhood.....to be continued.....
