If you're after fantastic snow, don't look any further than Big White!

"It's the snow" is the resorts motto and it lives up to its name with an average 750cm (24.5ft) of Okanagan Champagne Powder falling annually. Its bountiful, dry powder is legendary and was awarded "Best Powder" by Ski Canada Magazine in 2008!

Located in the picturesque Okanagan Valley, Big White is uniquely blessed with sunny weather, dry powder and a mild average temperature of -5C. With 118 market runs fanning from the summit, 2,565 acres of skiable terrain, and 16 lifts, there's a great selection of terrain for everyone with deep powder bowls, wide-open glades, and great fall-line cruising. For the ultimate park experience, head to our award winning TELUS Terrain Park which is the best progressive park in North America. To top it off, slalom through the spectacular"Snowghosts" (snow caked trees) which create a magical backdrop in our winter playground.

As the largest totally ski-in, ski-out ski resort in Canada, you can experience the luxury of stepping straight out onto the slopes from our fantastic range of accommodation. There's something for everyone whether it's a luxurious self contained vacation home with a private hot tub, a cozy condominium or a welcoming hotel suite. Whatever you're after, we have the makings for a memorable vacation.

You may be coming to Big White simply for the skiing and snowboarding, but you'll soon discover you can have a true Canadian adventure. You can explore snow covered hills by snowmobile, explore backcountry on cross country skis and snowshoes, sleigh ride through the wilderness or mush behind a husky. As BC's premier family destination, we have a great range of events and activities for the entire family including night skiing, snow tubing, ice skating, mini z's, fireworks and carnivals just to name a few... If you're after relaxation, soak up the sunset in a steaming hot tub, sit by the fire sipping hot chocolate, tantalize your senses at one of the luxurious day spas or stroll through our enticing retail outlets.

After a day on the slopes, take your entertainment and dining experience to new heights with a feast of restaurants, lounges, coffee houses, delis, bakeries, cozy pubs and bars. Whatever you're after, we have a scene to suit your pace.

Come to Big White for an unbeatable ski resort experience!
