Big White Ski Resort Ltd Review

Went on Canadian long weekend, not packed, half the price of Whistler, great weather that made the day perfect.

Ive been coming here since I was 5. Love the location, it just feels like home here. There are so many things to do form the telus park to the happy valley day lodge there is almost for sure something for everyone here.

Great fun ski resort with great snow and great hills. superb village with lots of places to eat and drink.

Great family friendly mountain! My girlfriend and I, as well as 9 other friends drove up front the States to enjoy a weekend of skiing and were not disappointed! My girlfriend, who is somewhat of a novice skier, kept telling how much fun she was having and how much the mountain terrain helped her improve. It was also great, because being an experienced snowboarder, I was still able to have fun on the easier runs while at the same time ensuring my girlfriend could get used to skiing. The mountain had great snow and the staff was so friendly. They also sold some very good draught beers, and overall we pleasantly enjoyed our time here. The atmosphere was very inviting and welcoming, and it was overall a fantastic experience. Thanks Big White!

keeps getting better, with more shops opening every year. You can't beat the champagne powder. It's not hype, it's real, and amazing. Love the fireworks on saturday nights, too

Beautiful resort with amazing staff. Well thought out, highly recommend with beautiful views!!!!

Great place for the entire family. The terrain is wonderful and there are plenty of runs to suit everyone's skill level. The best snow conditions year after year. Linda Thomas

The big white stores have awful service... one man had sold me a helmet without a box that doesnt work with any type of goggles and fifteen minutes later my goggles flew into my eyes and I had explained this to the man and he argued that there was nothing wrong and I had to get the manager involved to only receive a %50 refund. I also bought food at the bottom of the resort with low service..... the portions are for children and they lacked many of their menus products.... not impressed

Best soup I've eaten in a restaurant served by the friendliest staff.

I love this place it is family friendly and isn t to expensive for how big of a ski resort. Just a warning you do have to make reservations quite a while in advance if you are staying on the mountain.

I love this place! Great skiing, great atmosphere, great times!!

Incredible friendly employees, waiters and support staff. Very positive community!

Chairlift's seem to be stuck on slow always. Terrain park jumps are alway's closed. Staff is 100% Australian.
The marketing team has focused so hard on "family" stuff the resort does not cater to young adult's. Night life is 2 ok bars stuffed with drunk austrailans. If they didn't have good snow I wouldn't come back

Awesome for skiing and snowboarding. Lots of lifts.

Stayed at the inn at big white. Older building but very clean. Friendly staff. Outdoor pool and hot tub was great after a day on the slopes. Everyone on the mountain staff was friendly and helpful. First time boarding there. Will definitely be back. Weather was really bad before we arrived. Lots of fog. But it cleared up enough to see some beautiful views. Night skiing extends the day for those of us who sleep a little later...

I found it difficult to leave. I think I found my retirement place. Thanks for the great time Big White.

Love everything about this place. The staff at white crystal inn are amazing !

Fav place to shred!! Terrain for all levels. Nice village. Has everything you would need. Best champagne powder!!

We love going to big white! It's close to our home but it's so foggy half of the time we go up there, which makes snowboarding hard. We love the runs, and all the village has to offer for food and drinks! Rating 4 out of 5 because of weather conditions so far this winter. Friday night cheap night is our favourite - $10 lift tickets from 3:30-8.

I absolutely love Big White! The hill is awesome, the snow is great, most of the time it's pretty fast to get up the hill and early in the day it is nice groomed or rediculous powder. It is always my first choice to take the family. They have a great selection of restaurants and if you need a quick warm up or snack you don't have to go back to the village to do so. There is a little lodge by the main lift areas to eat and warm up! I have been to many hills over the years and Biggie is still my favorite!!

Love it up here. Beautiful, gorgeous even, resort. Was just there, and already looking forward to next year there!

A real gem -- great snow, gorgeous location, lots of gladed skiing that can be as easy or difficult as you like. Tends to be foggy, in which case the glades are recommended.

Usually good snow conditions. A lot more Australians visiting these days.

The resort attracts people from across the globe, but very few Americans know about it. It is run mainly by Australians.

Ski along quiet runs in powdery snow then spend the evening at a Swiss restaurant (sadly closed so no Black Forest cake, but the Black Diamond that replaces it has good fare and makes fondue - but not as good as Fritz's Swiss fondue) or Canadian steak house or a the pizza bakery.

This is a great resort for boomers who like variety as it is quiet and has special days for men and women to try new areas of the mountain. If you like the terrain at Snowmass near Aspen or Deer Valley in Utah and do not need to people watch, then Big White might just be the place for you!

Even if there is a white out, you can usually find some trees to guide you in the Black Forest.

Had an amazing week at Big White. Stayed in a condo at the resort. Definitely a must go location if you love skiing/boarding.

Fantastic mountainscape and nature provided lots of snow. Nature did her job but Big White as an entity continues to disappoint in their petty chintzy ways. " Sorry we are not allowed to give you a paper cup for water" This after spending $172. On passes and $29. on lunch that day! So you can't sit down with lunch and a cup of water. Have to use small cone style throw away cup standing at counter. They miss so many small items that make it a world class resort. They simply ride on nature's coattails. This is not a one off and I don't recommend it as a place to stay or eat ~ only ski or board ~ top notch there.

Lots of varied terrain, short lift lines. The kids did great at ski school!

Amazing resort/mountain for families. Great place to spend sometime with loved ones on the slopes.
It's properly catered to suit a family vacation.

Just got back from a 3 day skiing weekend. And it was simply the best. Such great terrain, stunning snow and amazingly short and quick lines for the lift. I'll be back.

Great ski resort for intermediate, lots of terrain, short lift lines even on busy days. And loads of powder throughout the winter!

Love the runs but the prices are getting very expensive. Still had to pay close to $100 for a local student. Wouldnt want to know how much it costs for an adult foreigner.

Lots of terrain for all levels and lots of amenities. Kids under 6 ski free. Can get socked in with cloud at times but usually passes quickly. About 45mins in from Kelowna. Be sure to check out gem lake side of the hill. Bullwheel is my favorite for food. Get there before lunch rush to get a seat.

What a wonderful place to visit! Up at Big White for the weekend to watch my grandsons race, outstanding service by the resorts staff, thank you Mike , Eric and Jeremy for the lifts, so very appreciated. Will be back again!

Family friendly can be busy. Instructors were not always patient and understanding. Accomodation for price was good however next time would ensure a kitchen is available.

Amazing snow, very few queue on lifts, great skiing.

Lots of terrain. Something for everyone. Little spendy

Expensive but stunning view and fresh air is always good

Great ski resort for fun family activities! Aloha from Maui, Hawaii

I love the terrain but it would be nice if they would thin some of the Forrest areas to add more tree skiing. I'd also like to see more grooming in the park (especially the pipe) it gets too icey.

The Ice tower climb was fantastic and tubing at Happy Valley was a great way to spend the day. Next time we will go skate on the pond. They have a zamboni to make the ice like a hockey rink. COOL place

Great hill and great onsite accommodations. Snow was getting thin by the end of spring break but the operators did an excellent job of grooming. Longest line all week was 5 minutes. Wife even got hurt and received excellent treatment by ski patrol and onsite medical clinic.

Love boarding here. One thing Big White can't do is control the weather and the amount of snow. But the staff and events are always awesome. Would recommend to family and friends.

Just stunning views. This was my first year of not going to Whistler. Just beautiful. Much smaller mountain and less people so definitively a good change in scenery. The runs are well maintained and there are some beautiful tree runs. Some blue runs were a bit steeper than my liking but overall experience was amazing. Will definitively come back but only during the weekdays because come Friday, the locals from Kelowna flock over there and waiting lines just gets longer.
Lots of affordable airbnb ski in/out so thats the way to do it if you decide to come here.

Huge mountain, lots of variety in expertise levels and activities.

Great place to get away for the winter. Come with your pocketbook. Shop for groceries in kelowna and enjoy!

Wonderful and beautiful place! Lots of FREE activities for the family

Big, great slopes, good back preparation, fun and varied slopes. Bad that they are so little interested in day-careers who hit the snowmobile car

You Ski Down The Runs Up The Lifts They Have Events Sometimes Places To Sleep If You Rent A Condo And Has A Great Ski School There It's Amazing Over There!

Not busy at all, very friendly staff, food is decently priced for a ski hill

Not as much to do as some other ski resorts I've been on, but still a great time. Definitely worth while when the mountain is fully open. I also appreciated the half off tickets when only one chair was open. Very nice!

I was part of a film crew shooting here and felt very welcome. Will be back!

Go here. Great champagne powder in winter. Epic spring skiing.

So many things to enjoy, so hard to choose what to do first!

SO SO fun! I am lucky enough to live very close so I go almost every weekend! Runs are awesome. Powder is fabulous. Great for the whole family!

My home mountain, so I'm a bit biased but it is truly a great ski hill. There's a great variety of terrain, lots of space to find your own little secret pow stash, and the snow is incredible. Growing up riding the "champagne powder" here has made me a snowboarder for life.

I give it only 4 out of 5 stars because it does tend to get foggy (locals call it big white out) which can be very disorienting even if you are a confident skier/boarder.

A lot of fun for everyone of all ages. You don't even have to spend a lot to have fun here as there's plenty to do that is free, such as ice skating and riding the gondola up to the village. There is lots of free parking available in Happy Valley.

Wow, snow snow aand more snow and it's only December

Big White is a resort like nothing else in this part of the world ski-in/ski-out village and accommodation are the rule, and the snow is phenomenal. The lifties are the best in the world ;)

Fantastic Resort offering world class snow ghosts, amazing tree runs and some good double black terrain
