View from the top of the mountain. This is also the start of the ski hill. Many days at Apex will have clear blue skies, and you can see a thick blanket of clouds below covering the Okanagan Valley.

Downhill skiing is what Apex is all about. The hill has 67 marked runs spread over 1112 skiable acres serviced by two chairlifts, a T-bar, and a magic carpet in the beginners area. Several gladed areas, a terrain park, and some of the steepest terrain on any lift-serviced hill in British Columbia is available. Terrain mix is 16% novice; 48% intermediate; 36% advanced/expert. As you would expect from a full service hill, rentals and single/group lessons are available. Free Mountain Host Tours are available twice daily; follow a local to the secret powder stash, and learn some local mountain lore. There is also night skiing Fridays, Saturdays and holidays until 9:00PM.
There is an extensive network of trails at the Nickel Plate Cross-Country skiing area. Trail maps are available on the Nordic Plate Nordic Centre's website.
