Vernon Lifestyle Real Estate Agent launches Ski-In/Ski-Out Score to replace the guesswork on ski homes

VERNON, B.C. – Anyone who has skied SilverStar knows “ski-in/ski-out” can mean very different things from one home to the next. A Vernon real estate agent has launched a free tool that measures the difference.

Until now, the term has been a label that often goes unchecked. The Ski-In/Ski-Out Score turns it into a number, calculated from map and elevation data that covers the route to the lifts, the distance and the difficulty of the runs (green, blue or black). It is live now for homes at SilverStar Mountain Resort, near Vernon.

When someone is thinking about buying a ski chalet at SilverStar, the score gives them a fair way to compare homes. The top end belongs to homes with a green run in and out. A strong skier is happy with a blue or black run, so a lower score can be the right fit. It may appeal to a smaller group of buyers, which can make a home a good fit for the right skier, and sometimes good value. A family with three kids just learning to ski would find the same home impractical. The score weighs all of those factors.

A score of 100 is rare, and it is the one every ski-home buyer wants to see. Only 3 of the 478 SilverStar addresses reach it. One that does is 150 Main Street, a short walk from a green run to the lift.

It is just as handy for people renting a place for a ski vacation. Before they book, they can see exactly where it sits on the resort: how far it is to the lift and which run takes them home. That includes the many visitors from Australia and other countries who ski SilverStar and want to compare places before they arrive.

“Every skier knows how different one ski-in/ski-out home can be from the next, and buyers deserve a number instead of a guess,” says Sean Phillips, Okanagan Lifestyle Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Executives Realty. “The score is an access rating, not a promise that a property is ski-in/ski-out.”

The score is free at realestatesilverstar.ca/ski-score. Phillips is available for interviews.
