    The mountain boasts more than 1112 acres of natural terrain, with a diverse selection of bowls, gullies, mogul fields, glades and groomed cruising runs.

    Five chairs which include, a high-speed detachable quad, a T-bar and a beginners handle tow allow skiers and snowboarders to slide down any of the
    more than 60 trails.

    The village at Apex is a friendly place, with retail shops, restaurants and
    night life. Families can enjoy horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice skating and
    movies.

    Terrain Parks Extra Info

    • Orage Terrain Park - The Orage park is huge this year. The layout is designed for comps and has a line of large jumps on the right and a big rail line on the left. With new snowmaking pumps and additional guns we hope to have the Park open earlier than ever.
    • Crooked Park - Crooked Park on Maverick has a laid back vibe with lots of space and a good mix of rails, boxes and jumps for all levels of riding. Check out the C Boxes (set up as an X Box) the 20' big box, Moby, S-Rail, the Flat Down, R3 and a whole lot more.
    • Super-Pipe - The Super Pipe on the Okanagan Run is 40 meters longer and steeper than last year. The crew have built the walls, in dirt, to full height and excavated the bottom to a perfect 16 degress. This means a better pipe with less snow needed to get it open. We are adding a dedicated tower mounted snowgun specifically to make snow for the pipe. The light tower at the top of the pipe has been moved to give the grinder better access to the top of the pipe.
