Ski Season Ready: Getting to the Mountain

With locations in both Salmon Arm and Revelstoke, Jacobson Ford sits close to four major ski destinations across the region: Revelstoke Mountain Resort is right in our Revelstoke backyard, SilverStar Mountain Resort near Vernon is about an hour and 15 minutes from Salmon Arm, Sun Peaks Resort near Kamloops is roughly 2 hours away, and Big White Ski Resort near Kelowna is about 2.5 hours south.

Mountain highway driving in winter is a different animal than driving around town — elevation gain, sudden weather changes, and stretches where winter tires or chains are required by law. A 4×4 Ford like the Bronco, F-150, or Ranger, paired with proper winter tires, makes a real difference navigating the passes on a powder day.

Heading up for a day or a season? Get your winter tires installed, your 4×4 system checked, and your wipers and battery tested before you’re relying on them at the top of a mountain pass.

Book a pre-season vehicle check online, or ask our sales team about 4×4 and AWD options before ski season starts.
