Overview
From http://www.apexresort.com/: 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 -4ยบ C, Apex receives about 600 cm of dry "Okanagan" powder each season.
Apex Mountain Resort has a quite a good vertical rise (2,001ft). As a guide, skiers will typically stop 3 or 4 times when skiing top to bottom. Apex Mountain Resort has a good range of terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. With 67 trails, it will take quite some time to explore the entire ski area.
