Why Big White is Highly Rated for Beginners

Big White has earned its gold award for Best Ski Resort Worldwide for Beginners with an impressive 4.83/5.00 rating, and the accolades are well-deserved. The resort excels with its gentle learning terrain, featuring wide, welcoming runs that build confidence in new skiers. Allan, a beginner skier, highlights how "the discovery program is a great option for those learning and getting into the sport," while praising the personalized instruction and patient teachers. Many users mention the resort's commitment to making skiing accessible—Tamara points out that there's "a green run from every lift," creating an ideal environment for those just finding their snow legs. This thoughtful design means novices aren't restricted to just one area but can explore more of the mountain as their skills develop.

Gabriella, a beginner skier, notes the "really gentle terrain" that allows new skiers to build confidence without intimidation. The Snomad community consistently praises the quality of instruction, with Devon explaining that it's "a great hill to learn how to ski with the wide range of terrain and beginner to intermediate runs."

About the Snomad Ski Resort Awards

The Snomad Ski Resort Awards are the most authentic and unbiased recognition in the ski industry, based entirely on genuine guest experiences from real skiers and snowboarders.

Unlike other awards that rely on paid nominations or allow resorts to collect their own votes, ours are determined by verified ratings from actual visitors who have experienced these resorts firsthand.

This approach ensures that winning resorts truly deserve recognition based on guest satisfaction rather than marketing budgets or social media follower counts, providing you with trustworthy recommendations for your next mountain adventure.
