Six days of some of the best skiing we've enjoyed ever. Blue skies, fresh snow, great grooming, wonderful off-piste runs, excellent lift system, comfortable hotel that was ski-in/ski out, and a great selection of fine restaurants made it overall an excellent vacation. This was our second trip to Big White, and hopefully it won't be the last.

Great snow! Occasionally foggy, but never soggy. Unless you're looking for double black diamond runs you'll have more ban for the buck here than at coastal hills. Super friendly people (they're mostly Australian so what do you expect?) And all ski in ski out accommodation.

First day back with Family, enjoyed 11cm of fresh powder. A little "BigWhite Out" conditions but still decent enough. My children enjoyed the lessons and regained their knowledge and confidence from last season. Here's to a great season!

Awesome place, crazy amounts of snow, but I highly recommend 4x4 capability for mid January visits! We had to cut our trip a little short today because my 2x4 truck was having some difficulties in the soft snow :(

Finally had the opportunity to experience this hill without fog (2nd time here), and loved it. Not aggressive by Canadian Rocky standards, but the hill has something for everyone.

We stayed in the village at the White Crystal Inn and had an excellent experience. The Hotel could use some updating, however it's location cannot be beat.

We had a wonderful dinner at the Woods Restaraunt across the way. And I demoed and purchased an excellent pair of skis for an even better price at Dizzy's, just a few steps from the hotel.

We missed a 17" dump of snow by a few days. Evidently this hill gets a ton of traffic as the main runs were largely skied out after only 3 days; But with a little adventuring pockets of uncut could be found all over, and we had an excellent time skiing with good company and good food.

I will absolutely be returning regardless of the 14hr drive from Saskatoon, SK.

I've never been to a better resort*. The snow is great, the village is amazing, the staff makes you think you've traveled to Australia. All around perfect place for a family snow vacation

*Note I've never been to another resort ;)

Awesome amount of powder most days and lots to explore. Village has pretty much anything you could need and actually isn't too inflated for being on a resort. Snowpine estates is a bit of a hike and buses aren't very frequent. Drive up can be slippery so definitely take your time. Overall, one of my favorite ski resorts for sure. Definitely prefer over the Albertan hills!

I have been here a couple of times. I find the kitchen lacking. Perhaps there should be a standard system of outfitting each kitchen ( we stayed in two different places). This last time we asked whether they could provide a large pot, something to cook pasta in and what they gave us was another frying pan. We already had four on site. I find that I am going out to purchase necessary items. For the price you pay, they could be more on top of this.

Was there on Wednesday February 12th 2020 and it was the clearest day of the season and also my first day at Big White. Skied the cliff chair from the peak 8 times and there was some amazing blower powder despite a 5cm snowfall total for 24 hours. Huck's were had and hollars from afar, I'd definitely hit up this mountain again soon!

Great place with tons of terrain for all levels of skiers. Has everything you need for a great time. Runs are long its been snowing regularly making for decent black diamond runs. The blues are fast and lots of fun.

The hill was the foggiest weather I have ever skied in but when the sun came through the clouds and you could see where you were it was beautiful. No lines at lifts and a wide area for night skiing.

Stayed at a friend's ski-in-ski-out condo, near the end of the ski season for the long Easter weekend. The snow was still great and it wasn't busy at all! Highly recommend it. Nice powder..

I really love Big White. Every year you will see something newly built and improved including the friendly service. Dry powder snow is my favorite part of the resort. It's a great family friendly place to be.

Best family ski resort for a reason. Most accommodation is ski in ski out, terrain has good mix of easy, intermediate, and advanced terrain. Skiing for advanced skiers is ok, but amazing on a powder day. Also named big white for the windy cloud cover.

Definitely bring skates (or rent there) as there is a large ice rink for skating/hockey. Also same area has tubing, ice climbing, and snowmobile rentals.

If coming in from Kelowna, would recommend grocery shopping in Kelowna as big white only has one store which is on pricer side, but great for restocking.

Great winter fun. Well laid out and playful mountain. Snow wasn't great when I went but still a lot of fun. Cliff chair was steep and did lots of laps there. Park is fun and there's a good mountain culture about this place.

It's great for families and for the powder. Sometimes the tree skiing can even be spectacular, and gem lake chair is awesome. However, expert skiers may find themselves craving something more challenging.

Amazing snow! Plenty of runs and lifts for all skill levels! Huge terrain park for those into that and a lift dedicated to taking you up and down the park, not just a T-bar or carpet for once.
