Apex Mountain Resort remains one of the
hidden gems of Canadian skiing.  Located
a short 35 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.
