Beating the crowds
- Tuesday to Thursday is quietest almost everywhere, and often cheaper.
- Buy lift tickets online before you arrive. In-person sales are only at the Village Centre Mall Ticket Office, and online rates are $35 lower on weekdays than the window price.
- Ski Monday to Friday outside the peak dates listed above. Weekend window prices are $15 higher than weekday window prices.
- Plan around the Feb 20 TELUS Kelowna Cup race and the Loose Moose Challenge weekends (Jan 16-17, Feb 13-14, Mar 20-21), when the village and slopes are busier.
- Night skiing runs on 38 acres of lit terrain, which can be a quieter option later in the day.
