What a find! A cozy village nestled at the base of a spectacular mountain. Regarded as some of the best skiing in North America, Apex boasts dry Okanagan powder, short lift lines and uncrowded slopes. In under six minutes the high-speed quad chairlift takes you to the top of the mountain. From there you can access 1112 acres of magnificent fall-line skiing and boarding.

In the true spirit of a real mountain community, Apex Mountain Resort is outstanding in its approach to genuine hospitality, sensible pricing and comfortable accommodation. Ski to your door and enjoy all the modern conveniences of a first class hotel at "The Coast Inn at Apex". Apex is also home to the Saddleback Lodge and the Sheeprock Lodge, both of which were recently rated as 'Best New Lodges', by Ski Canada Magazine. Be sure to check-out the Apex Double Diamond Hostel as a more thrifty alternative, located in the heart of the village. The Mountain Side Lodge houses the Gunbarrel Restaurant and Saloon and a variety of other skier services. With all amenities centrally located in this compact village, Apex is the perfect place to meet up with family and friends and have a Real Mountain Holiday!
