Apex Mountain Resort
Penticton is a beautiful city nestled between two lakes in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. Even though Penticton may be better known as a Summer holiday destination because of the lakes and many surrounding wineries, this special city is actually an all Season's Playground.
Now with winter upon us, the ski hills beckon and winter sports are the main focus for this time of year.
Penticton's close proximity to Apex Mountain Resort, makes it a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts and ski buffs.
The 30 minute drive up the hill, takes you through a Winter Wonderland that alone, is worth the drive.  On arrival at Apex Village you will find out that there are many activities besides skiing at your fingertips. As well as downhill skiing with terrain geared for the novice to the advanced skier, the village also offers, A Tube Park, Hockey Rink, Adventure Skating Loop, Cross Country Skiing on 67 trails and even Night Skiing.
