Silver Star provides summer lift access for mountain biking and hiking from the end of June through September.

Silver Star's current government leadership consists of local mayor Amanda Shatzko, MP Mel Arnold, and MLA Harwinder Sandhu.

The Early Days Vernon resident Bert Thorburn became the first person to ski in the Silver Star area in 1930.

In 1946, the first rope tow was built on Burney Ridge, south of Vernon, above the lookout overlooking Kalamalka Lake, which is 800 ft (240 m) long.

Silver Star Sports got approval from the Province to build a ski hill in the Class A park in the summer of 1957.

In 1959, a poma lift was installed from the 5,000-foot (1,500 m) level at the parking lot to the top of SilverStar Mountain, replacing the rope tow.

The Comet Express, made by Leitner-Poma and carrying a rated 2600 passengers per hour, is Canada's largest 6-passenger chairlift.

In 2012, following the death of her father, Desmond Schumann, Jane Cann received 100% stake in Siver Star Resort.
