There’s something magical about the first real snowfall of the year. This week, SilverStar Mountain in Vernon was dusted in white, signaling what so many of us have been waiting for — the official start of snow season in the Okanagan.

At Innerspace Watersports, we’re just as excited as you are (if not more!). The sight of snow falling on the chairlifts and trees has us pulling out our gear early, tuning up our machines, and even trying on jackets and helmets just to feel that winter energy again.

The First Signs of Winter Stoke

Every year, that first storm lights a fire of anticipation across the valley. Locals start watching the webcams more closely, snow enthusiasts talk about upcoming trips, and the excitement builds for the epic riding season ahead.

This early snow at SilverStar is more than just a dusting — it’s a reminder that the trails, slopes, and backcountry will soon be calling. And when it does, you’ll want to be ready.

Get Geared Up Early

We’re not waiting until the lifts open or the backcountry gates swing wide — we’re getting prepped now. At Innerspace Watersports, we’ve already started:

• Tuning and maintaining snowbikes, sleds, and gear to make sure everything is in peak condition.

• Trying on and testing winter apparel, because there’s nothing worse than realizing mid-season that your boots, jacket, or helmet aren’t ready to handle the ride.

• Lining up accessories and safety gear so when the season hits full swing, there’s no last-minute scramble.

Join the Stoke

We invite you to do the same. Come down to the shop, see what’s new this season, and join the rest of the Okanagan community in getting geared up. Whether you’re a snowbiker, skier, sledder, or just love winter adventure, now’s the time to prepare.

The mountains are waking up. Let’s make sure we’re ready when the real powder days arrive.
