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.
