Nowhere now, but everywhere
Silver star is a cool place. Fun terrain. Nothing too hairy, but fun. Very cool base/village situation with the colorful Victorians. It snowed about an inch while I skied and everything skied chalky and workable. Kinda eastern conditions but very fun.

It’s dumping in revelstoke at the valley floor at least 2” down already and already 5 cm reported up the resort


Solid one day sightseeing of silver star -

Don’t know if it’s on your route but I think Kimberly is worth checking out. Had a good day there, reasonably steep and plenty of trees.
