Apex Mountain Resort: described by several writers as the "Jewel of the Okanagan", and Ski Canada named it "Best Small Destination Ski Resort". Apex is also known as the best kept secret in the Okanagan. Famous for "Champagne powder", no lift lines, friendly locals, awesome skiing in a great package, all just 30 minutes drive from Penticton, B.C.
Apex Mountain Resort remains one of the hidden gems of Canadian skiing. Located a short 30 minute drive from Penticton, BC, Apex is a full service destination resort with quality snow, great weather, incredible terrain, and friendly people. Apex being located in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, features the perfect mix between large amounts of precipitation and low humidity that makes for the lightest champagne powder snow imaginable. Smiles stretch from ear to ear, as locals and visitors alike hoot and holler amongst the glades & open terrain, leaving clouds of powder snow to lightly settle behind them. With an average temperature of -4º C, Apex receives about 600 cm of dry "Okanagan" powder each season.
