Mountain north of Westbank in the Okanagan region of British
Columbia offers downhill skiers and snowboarders some awesome

the whole family to ski within their budget.
Get High, The Ice Tower is in operation! Come and climb and
experience the thrill of a 30 foot Ice Tower. The first of it's
kind at a ski area in Western Canada. For a small fee we will
gear you up and you will be taught by an experienced climber
how to use ice cleats, ice picks, lingo, climb and descend an
ice wall. Then you will climb the wall all the time being secured
by belay and when you are ready we will lower you "repel" back
to the ground This is available on Saturdays and Sundays only.
