The Okanagan Valley area of British Columbia is one of the key areas in BC for Snow Boarding because of the numerous snow mountains in the region so closely located to each other. The communities of Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and Osoyoos are nearby communities to some of the more popular snow board hills.  Apex Ski Mountain is near Penticton. Big White and Crystal Mountain are located near KelownaSilver Star is kitty corner to Vernon. Mount Baldy snowboarding is found outside the community of Osoyoos, BC, Canada. 

All Okanagan Valley Snow Board Hills have concession stands, lessons and snow board rentals on site. The larger snow boarding mountains have restaurants, pubs, lodgings, retail stores and coffee houses.

Plan accordingly as accommodations on the snow mountains can be limited. In the communities in the Okanagan Valley, at the foot of some of the ski hills, are plenty of accommodations to select from. Some as close as 30 minutes away by car from the ski lift.
