A great family ski resort. Lots of accomodation on the hill with mostly ski in/out locations. A whole lot of ski area, well looked after with nightly grooming and slopes for every skier. A childrens area for the little ones. They are proud of their "Okanagan Champagne Snow" and rightly so. A great family experience and if some in the... More

A great family vacation that catered to everyone! Skiing was amazing, and the chalet we rented had a hot tub, which is essential. The food was great as well!

This is one of the best "blue" hills ever. The "black" runs are limited and usually defined by poorly maintained slopes in tight runs, rather than steep slopes. That said, you can really cruise on this hill. "Black" runs off the Gem Lake Express Chair and Powder Chair are great.

The village at Big White is so beautiful and the atmosphere is really friendly. The skiing is just awesome. The runs are wide and not to steep. The difference between the Black Forest to the Gem Lakes gives so much variety. I would recommend this to most skiers but particularly to families.

We had prefect weather and the snow conditions were epic. This is such a well run ski resort, its unbelievable. Every one is so friendly and helpful! Ask the guy sweeping the floor a question...anything... and if he doesn't know the answer, he will take you to the person that knows. There are a lot of Aussies and Kiwis working... More

Love the snow, great tree runs, no lift lines. Not much of a challenge though, only 2 or 3 double black and even the regular blacks are just hard blue's.

great runs, varied terrain. we had 3 days of fog (big white out), but still enjoyed the skiing. When the sun came out it was glorious. Loved the village - very low key (anti-Whistler). Good food, fun family activities (tubing, skating).

We have been coming here for 8 years and bought a condo, Stonebridge Lodge, which is in the village and on the ski run. We were at school in Switzerland skiing there for 20 years but since discovering Big White, have not returned! Amazing ski runs and the best snow ever, hardly any lift queues during peak season, totally ski... More

Big White offers something for everyone - a variety of runs for all skill levels, skiing or boarding. For the kids, big and small, a tubing park, skating rink, climbing wall, carnival in the village on weekends, sleigh rides, movie nights - and most NB some of the most reliably best snow conditions. I live close enough to ski every... More
