Big White is like the all-rounder of ski resorts – great snow, lots of runs, and something for everyone. You're looking at a wide range of trails, from chill to challenging. The village is buzzing with energy, with plenty of places to grab a bite or a drink. It’s super family-friendly, so everyone can join in the fun. The views are nothing short of stunning, and there are some neat activities besides skiing if you want to mix it up.

As an intermediate skier, this was pretty much the perfect resort to improve my skiing. The runs are wide and not too busy and a huge variety of options depending on whether you are looking for tree runs, powder or groomers.
It maybe isnt the best resort for complete beginners, even the easiest greens have parts that are quite steep (as compared to greens in Europe) but the quality of skiing is great. Only negatives compared to Europe is that the runs arent as long, meaning more time spent in chairlift queues, and European style apres is pretty much non existent.

Big White is a good beginners, family friendly mountain. Prices could be better (more discount options) for locals. Would be nice if they would team up with other Mountains to create a pass that allowed you to explore more around BC and bring in riders from far and wide. Overall, Big White is an okay Mountain in a convenient location providing a short drive to Kelowna and all of the outdoor activities the Okanagan supports.
