Resort Elevations:

Valley Base (City of Kelowna) - 344m (1,128 ft)
Bottom of Gem Lake Express – 1,511m (4,957 ft)

Visitors should be aware that mountain weather can be variable and change quickly. Daytime temperatures can be 5C to 10C degrees cooler at the summit and sky conditions may vary with elevation. Summit levels are also often breezier as wind flows unimpeded by trees and buildings.
