What is the difference between Destination Silver Star and SilverStar Mountain Resort?
Destination Silver Star is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to protect, enhance and promote the magic of Silver Star. DSS is the voice of the mountain community representing 1,000+ residential and commercial members including accommodations, retail, food & beverage, and a variety of other services.
SilverStar Mountain Resort is responsible for the ski lifts and terrain. The resort also has the right to purchase Crown land from the province to expand resort operations further, including housing developments and other services.
The Regional District of the North Okanagan is responsible for maintaining services for property owners. This includes zoning and land use, building permits, water, sewer, road maintenance, bylaw enforcement and noise complaints.
The Silver Star Property Owners Association is a home owners association, representing the best interests of the property owners of Silver Star Mountain to any and all organizations and committees having an influence or effect on the operation, development or governance of the community.
We acknowledge that Destination Silver Star conducts business on the unceded, ancestral, and traditional First Nations territory and does so with the utmost of respect for the elders that cared for it before our time.
