Located in the southern interior of British Columbia in the Okanagan Valley, Kelowna is a vibrant city and the central hub to the local mountain Big White. When the seasons turn and the snow sets in, there are so many things to do in Kelowna in winter!
From skiing at Big White, SilverStar, and Sun Peaks Ski Resorts to exploring the fat biking trails, snowshoeing along ridgelines, sipping wine at snowy vineyards, exploring local craft breweries and restaurants, and so much more, Kelowna in the winter is an exciting destination that you just have to explore for yourself.
