Great snow for this early in the season. The lifts are a bit too far spaced out. You have to push alot if you want to get to different sections. Found it hard to navigate if you don't know the mountain. The village is excellent.

Great Ski in Ski out Resort!

Great Ski in Ski out Resort!
Such a cute little village with great features of being able to get to any pub or hotel by skiing there! (Or snowboarding)
The mountain has lots of different runs for many levels of skiers or snowboarders.
The mountain isn t busy compared to other mountains in BC, so there are hardly any lineups for lifts and the hills aren t too overcrowded.
The Chalets that I stayed in was small, comfy, and romantic as well.
Some rooms have a kitchenettes, so you can most definitely either prepare food or bring your own prepared food if ever you don t like the restaurent or bar scenes.
Everyone there is friendly and most probably Australian.
Highly recommended for families, couples, and groups of people who want to simply have a great time.

Big White is always a great place to not only ski for a day, but to stay for a few and enjoy the mountain. With lots of restaurants, fun pubs and live entertainment, there s something for everyone. On top of skiing, there is ice climbing, tubing and skating. Highly recommend a weekend at Biggie!

A great ski resort overall. Can be hard to get to from the lower mainland due to highways closures and weather conditions but once you get there it's fabulous even on a less perfect day. They have lots of blue and green runs for beginners and plenty of choices for advanced skiers or snowboarders as well. Lots of great tree skiing!

Big White has a great quality of snow. I have been around the World skiing and boarding, yet the snow quality which Big White provides is hard to match. The mountain itself great as well and is suited well for family.

I never put a ski on my foot before in my life, but after 3 lessons at the Big White ski school I was slaloming down the mountain! A fantastic place to ski; plenty of trails and lifts are well managed. And lots of options for the all important apres-ski!

It was amazing. First time I have been there in the summer. Took the chair lift to the top. Hiked to the real to. Views were amazing. And ended up hiking back down to our vehicles. Reccomend to all ages and abilities.

Unhelpful, untrained, uncaring or wholely absent staff. Poor sprawling village design with bad visibility on signs or no signs at all. Prices too high. Uncontrolled chaos in queues for lifts. The only thing this place had going for it was the snow. Zero out of five.

Ok, let me get this out of the way first off - I'm not a skier. I'm not even comfortable trying to work that word (one 'i' or two?? I'll trust the spelling suggestion).

This review is more about off-season activities on the mountain. I've been up there a few times and toured around when there been little or no snow at all, but it's still been magnificent.

The mountain is nicely set up for biking and hiking and the views show the elevation of BC. (Did you know that BC is actually high elevation and we're just living in the books and crannies? Well there you go.) It's fantastic looking over other peaks and ranges; seeing weather rolling in, or by, from afar; and just getting out and experiencing the amazingness that nature had to offer.

The night life is amusing, too. Well, the village life. The entertainment. There is a lot to do during the day, lots of fun activities for kids and adults and lots of available gear to complete the activities. Bikes, games, music here and there throughout the summer, even a giant cake on Canada Day! And a mascot, but I'll let you discover that yourself.

There's a few places to eat, to get coffee or snacks, and to grab drinks. The accommodations are profound, and so is the parking if you just want a day trip up there.

Oh, and I hear they get snow in the winter, too. You might want to keep an eye out for that.

In all honesty, I've only skiid/boarded at a couple other mountains.

From my limited experience, Big White has exceptional terrain, wonderful staff and excellent accommodation and amenity selections.

They're also continually improving, expanding and upgrading. It's my favourite resort to attend.

My second season on skis and this was perfect plenty of green and blue runs that are good for a decent beginner. Beautiful views, great runs, fairly fast moving ques for chair lifts. Fist day everyone was without hot water but they fixed it and the rest was amazing.

Another awesome day with knee deep powder and lots of uncut lines. Bit of flat light at the top of all lifts but cleared up150 meters down the hill. Not too cold at - 5 and only the last 100 meters of the lifts were windy. All round, nearly perfect for this time of year!

The mountain bike trail builders at this hill are incredible. All the cool kids want flow and they have nailed it. Even the tech trails have it. Also the chair is fast and efficient allowing for many laps. The only bad thing is that there are so many jumps and berms that are perfect that you will ride them until you can no longer move

We went to Biggie for the opening of the bike tracks, fantastic weather, tons of people there and quite exciting tracks, a bit difficult but we heard they are making some tamer ones. We also went on a horse ride which was really fun. Nice to see so many people having fun. Not too many bugs and great to have the restaurant and pub open, will be doing again for sure. Really cool to ride the chair in summer and see all the cool views

Everything was great this year. My only complaint was that we had to take the gondola up to the village to get our night ski pass. It was much more convenient to have them available at the Haply Valley lodge.Other than that great as always!!

Never book the chalet on the chalet big white website!!! I booked a chalet in April this year, and it has been shown that the booking was successful. After that, they cancelled my booking and did not notify me!
