Ski at Big White
Length -
Big White Ski Resort is one big winter playground. Here, at Canada’s largest totally ski-in/ski-out resort village, you’ll find loads of deep Okanagan powder (25 feet annually), 16 lifts, 119 runs, and 1,147 hectares (2,765 acres) of skiable terrain for powderhounds of all ages and abilities.
Cross-country skiers and snowshoers can choose from 25 kilometres (16 miles) of Nordic and dog-friendly wilderness trails, while families can add tubing, dogsledding, snowmobiling, horse drawn sleigh rides, and skating to their winter holiday. The resort also has a full calendar of fun family events from weekly fireworks to the family-favourite “Moose Cruz” where skiers and snowboarders are encouraged to track down clues throughout the mountain, via their phones.

- Feb 23, 2025: “Big White is a supper family friendly resort. Our experience with central reservation is exceptional. The staff are friendly, professional and very detailed. When our flight was delayed, they messaged/text/emailed us to ensure we were notified the change of the shuttle time. Staff at the resort are also warm, friendly and helpful, a true feeling of being home.” 0
- Feb 22, 2025: “Stayed in Plaza on the Ridge rental unit 335. The beds were comfy and there were lots of hooks to hang dry your gear. The kitchen needs work. The stove top burners didn’t get hot enough to boil water, there were no lids for pots, the cutlery was dollar store quality. There wasn’t a flipper for eggs or oven mitts. The salt and pepper shakers were empty. The kitchen and bathrooms look to be original. I don’t like those little toilets and I’m not even 6 feet tall.” 1
