Great mountain, and a beautiful village. There's always lots friendly Australians working and plenty of organized activities. Got engaged on the slopes looking out on a magnificent view of the valley.

I have skied at Big White for over 20 years. It has a wide variety of terrain, all the way from super beginner slopes with a magic carpet lift to steep double black diamond runs and cliffs. It has great groomed slopes, nice mogul runs and outstanding glades and tree skiing. Definitely a great place for the whole family, but also quite good for hard core skiers. It is a very friendly place, and you will notice that about 80% of the employees are Australian, and they are always plenty of fun!

It truly is half way to heaven. Love this place. It's not a typical commercialized tourist spot. It's a great ski resort offering a variety of activities. Has everything to offer and then some called character and authenticity.

Beautiful place in the summer, not only in the winter. It s not crowded at all in the summer. There are many hikes to explore here in Big White. We stayed in Winter Ridge for a while and it has beautiful views of the mountain. Overall, a lovely place to visit and explore not only in the winter but also in other seasons too.

Can be awesome skiing with fresh powder, which they get a lot of. However, the lift ticket prices are hugely disappointing for the general public. It's like this mountain only exists for 10% of the Canadian Population and rest International Elite. I feel sorry for the good people who are struggling to make ends meet in a time of the highest Debt to Income Ratio in Canadian history. Prices of snacks are a huge disappointment too. This is not for your average family at all. It's really sad! I just went the day before, luckily it was part of my work to take someone there. I remembering going to Tod Mountain, now Sun Peaks for 20$ and complaining when they raised prices! No wonder the mountain was virtually empty yesterday!

Overall, Big White is one of my favourite places to ski. There's lots of variety in the accommodations and they've done a pretty good job of keeping the ski hill accessible wherever you're staying. There's also lots of terrain to choose from on the hill... as long as it's not foggy.

edit: Big White needs to do more to enforce their smoke/vape/marijuana-free resort. I think they should consider smoke detectors in the gondolas on Lara's Gondola. Getting into a car going down with my two young children, I did not appreciate that someone had hotboxed the car on its way up.

Big White is an excellent hill with lots of park/ski-cross features, varying degrees of trail difficulties, and glades. The lifts are efficient and night skiing is such a great experience in the mountains. Don't expect a Whistler-Blackcomb sized mountain or village. This is a quieter, modest mountain with a lot character. Parking is very easy and the tickets can be pre-purchased online or in retail stores for a cheaper price than at the window.

Sprawling and counterintuitive layout. Apparent that no development plan was in place as it grew. Terrain is variable and has something for all levels of skiers. Could use more glading in areas and better marked cliffs for when the snow is thinner.

Excellent resort. The runs are nice and long and there are many sides of the mountain you can traverse. Trails are well marked, and they offer alot of green runs for beginners.

The view is great, however the mountain views aren't nearly as 'in your face' as 'the big 3' in Alberta (which really add another layer to the experience). But I was here to board and that we did and had a blast!

You won't get hungry out there as each time you come down the slopes into the village there are lots of options to refresh. We stayed at the Big White Inn which was a great stay, very friendly. Rooms had a mini table top stove appliance and cookware which was so convenient if you don't always want to eat out. Also great that you can basically ski/board up very close to the hotel so you can stop in to grab a snack and quickly recharge.

Outdoor heated pool and the hot tub were definitely appreciated. The only negative was that the hot tub was closed the first night which was a real downer but no stars knocked off as this sort of thing happens - maintenance.

Early season skiing at it's best. Great coverage on the open runs, even early season can give some resorts in North America a run for their money. We are lucky here in BC, a great resort at our city step, some places south of here and east of here would kill for this snow anytime of the year...

Not the best resort in Canada but still a lot of fun to be at! The people there and the ski patrol were very helpful and the snow and conditions were amazing the week I was there. I probably wouldn't go to this resort again but I would definitely recommend it to someone else.

The beginner's day pass, magic carpet and green runs are excellent for first-time skiers/snowboarders. The service at the rental office is quick and there are plenty of stores where you can purchase extra accessories at a reasonable price. Great restaurants and cafeterias make the stay even more enjoyable
