Vernon's SilverStar Mountain Voted 5th Best Ski Resort in North America
Readers ranked 10 resorts across Europe and North America, with Switzerland and Utah taking the top spots in Condé Nast Traveller’s 2026 awards.
On Tuesday, Condé Nast Traveller released its 2026 Readers' Choice Awards, naming Deer Valley in Utah the top North American ski resort with 97.78 and Zermatt in Switzerland the leading European destination with 98.33.
Thousands of readers participated in the annual survey to evaluate 15 North American and 20 European resorts based on their personal mountain experiences throughout the year.
Deer Valley earned 97.78, the highest score among North American entries, while Zermatt's 98.33 stood as the only European result above 95.00, underscoring its commanding lead over the continental field.
British Columbia's SilverStar Mountain Resort ranked 5th in North America with 93.26. Ian Jenkins, director of sales, marketing, and events, said, "We're proud to offer a mountain experience that brings people together."
With snow already on the ground, the rankings provide travelers destination guidance for the 2026/27 winter season as resorts across both continents prepare for the arrival of winter guests.
