Although Penticton is primarily known as a summer destination, the winter activities here should not be overlooked. Skiing at Apex Mountain Resort is a laid-back affair targeted at both families and powder hounds. This unusual combination is a result of the special fluffy light snow that falls here, known as champagne powder.
