Stayed on the hill, ski and ski out, great skiing, tons of snow, quaint village with a few nice restaurants, but otherwise somewhat quiet. Very family friendly

Always have a great time at Big White. On the bluebird days, it’s unreal but foggy days are still a blast. Might just have a couple less runs and check out the many great restaurants and bars on the hill.

First time at Big White in February this year. Awesome resort white great runs, great snow, quality runs and super efficient lifts. Hardly ever had to wait in lift lines (even during Family Day). Ski in/out are awesome. Ski right into the village for great apres options, will definitely be returning! Highly recommend now

Stayed here at a condo. Was easy to ski in and ski out. Hot tub was included at the condo. Hot tub was nice to relax in after a full day of skiing.

Such a fun ski resort! Very family friendly especially around the holidays. Good varied terrain and plenty of off piste options. Head over to gem lake for the best runs. Can get busy off bullet chair.

I have been to Big White twice now and both times have been awesome. It’s a quieter mountain than some I’ve been to but still busy enough to create a good vibe. Definitely family friendly but enough pubs around for a good night out. Good place to rent a chalet and share with a bunch of people. Great runs with some easier tree runs for beginners/intermediate to join in as well. Love it and can’t wait to go back.

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.

First year on Indy Pass. Took the trIp across the country and North to Canada. What a difference from East Coast US skiing!!!! My wife and I loved every second of it. Our two teen boys absolutely LOVED the terrain park and glades. Will be back for sure

Love this mountain. It usually has consistent snow. There is something for everyone at this mountain. There are multiple restaurants and sometimes 1 or 2 food trucks. There are many places to stay, although they can be quite expensive if you are on a budget. There is a hostel but you must phone to reserve. There are usually events going on after hours. There is a small liquor store and bodega for groceries. There are events that happen at the mountain all year long and an amazing end of season concert. You can also pay for a season's pass in installments.

Good mountain. But busy. Think downtown Kelowna in the summer, but on the mountain. Weekdays are best.

Went skiing here for the first time and was very impressed with the lessons. My instructor was super nice and gave me personalized tips and was patient. The discovery program is a great option for those learning and getting into the sport. I highly recommend big white for families as they have lots fun things for kids at night and different events daily.

Been a season pass holder for 4 years. Great hill to learn how to ski with the wide range of terrain and beginner to intermediate runs. Wont have the expert or difficult terrain like a revelstoke or kicking horse but great to go for a day with friends and grab a bite to eat in the village. Plenty of options for tree skiing which is fantastic.
