Why Choose Summerland Waterfront Resort’s Apex Mountain Ski Getaway?

Spend your morning 50 minutes away at Apex Mountain Resort. It is famous for light, dry powder and uncrowded runs. Later, return to the peaceful, milder climate of Summerland Waterfront Resort & Spa.

The “Altitude Hack” for Faster Recovery

As local experts, we know the secret to an adventure-filled ski trip is rest. Sleeping at the lake’s lower elevation allows your body to recover faster than at the summit. Wake up refreshed in a spacious kitchen suite. These are perfect for prepping mountain snacks. You also enjoy peace of mind with complimentary secure underground parking for your gear.

Direct Booking Advantage

Book this package directly with us for a seamless transition to the slopes. When you check in, we’ll confirm the number of lift tickets you would like for 25% off, then we’ll email lift tickets directly to your phone. This allows you to bypass the busy line ups at the ticket window and head straight to the chairlift.

Frequently Asked Questions: The Apex Ski Getaway Experience

We know that booking a winter trip involves more than just a room. It is about logistics, comfort, and peace of mind. Here are the answers to the most common questions our guests have about our Apex Mountain Ski and Stay package.

The Logistics: Getting to the Slopes

Is the drive to Apex Mountain difficult or dangerous in winter? The road to Apex is a well-maintained, high-priority paved route that is plowed frequently to ensure safe access. While it is a mountain road, the scenic 50 minute climb acts as a perfect mental reset as you move from the lake to the peaks. We always recommend having proper winter tires and checking road conditions before you head out.

Where do I keep my gear so it is safe and dry? One of the biggest advantages of staying with us is our complimentary secure underground parking. You can rest easy knowing your skis and snowboards are locked away and protected from the elements, so you do not have to carry heavy equipment to your suite every night.

The Altitude Hack: Why Stay at the Lake?

Why wouldn’t I just stay on the mountain? While slopeside has its perks, sleeping at a lower altitude is a secret to better performance. Apex is famous for light, dry snow, but sleeping at that height can be restless. By returning to the Summerland shoreline, you are sleeping in oxygen-rich, more humid air that helps your muscles repair faster. Plus, you get the luxury of a full kitchen and far more space than typical mountain condos.

Planning Your Day: Fuel and After Hours

Can I get an early enough start for first tracks? Absolutely. Our on-site SWR Bistro opens at 7:00 AM daily specifically to help you reach the summit in time for first tracks. You can stop in for a quick bite and a fresh coffee before hitting the road, or if you prefer a slow morning, we can deliver a Breakfast Basket directly to your suite. These baskets are packed with fresh croissants, fruit, yogurt, and granola so you can fuel up while overlooking the lake. Once you return from the mountain, the Bistro also offers the perfect apres ski atmosphere to help you unwind and share stories from the slopes.

What is there to do if some of us do not want to ski every day? Summerland offers a relaxed luxury experience that goes beyond the downhill runs. Those staying behind can enjoy:

• Wellness: Book a treatment at the iKhaya Day Spa or soak in our outdoor hot tubs under the stars.

• Wine: Discover award-winning wineries on Bottleneck Drive just minutes away.

• Comfort: Relax by the fireplace in your premium suite, cook your favourite dinner in your fully equipped kitchen, and gaze out at the mesmerizing lake.

The Fine Print: Tickets, Gear, and Food

How do I get my lift tickets? We make logistics simple. Once you book, we email your tickets directly to your phone. Skip the ticket lines and head straight to the chairlift.

Where do I store my gear? Enjoy complimentary secure underground parking. Keep your skis and boards locked safely in your vehicle. This keeps your gear dry and makes your morning departure effortless.

I need fuel for my ski day. Where do I get coffee, breakfast and après-ski? The Waterfront Bistro opens at 7:00 AM for fresh coffee and quick bites. For a relaxed morning, order a Breakfast Basket with croissants and fruit delivered to your suite. Return after your last run for the perfect après-ski atmosphere.

Is there more to do? Relax in our heated outdoor hot tubs or explore local wineries. You can also book a treatment at iKhaya Day Spa for the ultimate recovery.
