The tree lighting and fireworks every year is a huge deal and packed with people It's the first time we've gone up for this particular event, and honestly, probably the last. Big White itself is always fun, and once we got out of the crush of people in the village and back down to Happy Valley Lodge, the evening became wonderful. My grandsons play "King of the Hill" by the school, the cafe provided hot chocolate, and we enjoyed the atmosphere from the warmth of the lodge. There's something for everyone at Big White, at every event, and it never disappoints, even if the event itself is too people-y. One can always find something else to do. It's truly a lovely place to go for the day, anytime. Winter, summer...any time.

This is my first visit to Big White, and I heard only wonderful things from my friends who have stayed and skiied here. It exceeded my expectations and now I know what a ski resort really is. Some resorts in the Pacific/Inland Northwest may have "Resort" in their name, but Big White is what resort is meant to be. The Village Centre is a winter wonderland with Christmas lights on trees. Our slope-side ski-in/ski-out hotel was perfect for my family's needs kver the course of the 3 nights we stayed here. Here in Canada at Big White, it truly feels like a getaway -- we are in our own snow globe world where everyone is friendly. Big White staff is awesome. Great with my kids. Everything really seems *better* in Canada -- the snow, the friendly ski-culture vibe (no snotty pretentious folks), the terrain (great variety, something for all abilities and ages, and even the people here dress better...outdoorsy Okanagon mountain vibe. No show-off name brands, just comfy, warm coats and hats and boots. Best souvenir item -- a Big White pom hat. Warm, cozy, and colorful! And a vacation here is affordable! Canadian skiers I met said they would like to visit the States to ski but it's too expensive. The accomodations and lift tickets beat all in the Pacific NW region from the Cascades to the NW Rockies. Prices lowers, yes. Favorable exchange rate, yes. But the value of what you get for your U.S. dollars is amazing! The resort also has an Olympic size outdoor ice skating rink for recreational and figure skating and hockey. An epic snow tubing park. And much more, so even if you don't alpine ski or snowboard there are lots of winter sports and recreation options (snowshoeing, dogsled rides, sleigh rides, Nordic skiing).

I love big white. We've gone every year for the past 3 or so years. This year we went for 4 weeks out of the winter. It's a nice hill for beginners and more experienced riders. There's something for everyone! Ski in ski out is almost a must because it's so convenient

Awesome Food

Awesome Food

Village has plenty of restaurants with plenty of veggie and vegan options on the menus. No fast food chains so prices are a bit on the higher side.

Great accomodations.

Stayed at plaza on the ridge which offered a great ski ski out experience. Unit had a well equipped kitchen and great size TV's. Washer dryer were also a huge plus with easy access to the hottub.

Awesome mountain.

Great snow, tons of blues and greens really boarder friendly with options for all skill levels. Lift tickets are cheap in comparison to other much smaller resorts and the biggie card made life really easy.

Been going to Big White yearly for the past 20 years. Amazing atmosphere and terrain for the whole family. Wide variety of slope conditions with everything from beginner to advanced. Their glade skiing is world class and they continue to improve them each summer. Their Ski and Snowboard park Telus Park is always well kept and in excellent condition. It's even accessible on it's own lift for night skiing. Excellent New Years celebrations.

Best skiing in BC! Unlike the other large resort, there are no crowds, lineups, or attitude. Big White is impeccably well run. The staff are amazingly helpful and very kind. This mountain has great views, and is Excellent for families, our kids learned to ski here. Great snow, dry powder, excellent grooming and untracked deep pow stashes make it fun. Plus there are many ski-in ski- our condos so you can ditch the parking lot and car.
