Apex Mountain Resort, located in south central British Columbia, 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 temperatures around 25°F (-4°C), Apex receives about 240 inches (600cm) of dry "Okanagan" powder each season. Read more

One of the best kept secrets in skiing. A great mountain with terrain for all levels. Had a great day with the kids and even got to ski a few runs on my own.

What a great Mtn! Thanks for saving my family some coin getting on it. We really look forward to getting back up there soon (like as soon as we hear about a powder dump). Apex would be an amazing powder hill, but was good even after a couple weeks with almost no new snow.

-add more features to your crooked park- even though there were about 6 or so features, more beginner rails and jibs could be added- mount seymour has about ten rails squeezed into one small area -great steeps! -is there room for expansion on the other side of apex? -that's it!
