What Skiers Say About Big White

Big White attracts a wide range of skiers and snowboarders, from families with young children to advanced riders seeking powder and tree runs. The most consistent praise centres on champagne powder snow, minimal lift queues (especially midweek), extensive tree skiing, and a compact, family-friendly village with ski-in/ski-out accommodation. Reviewers frequently mention the resort's suitability for all ability levels, though several note that even green runs can be steep. The most common complaint is poor visibility during storms, earning it the nickname 'Big White-Out' among locals. Some reviews highlight limited nightlife and après-ski options compared to larger resorts, and a few mention higher prices for food and accommodation.

I’ve gone to Big White a few times and was always happy with the experience. While it is a busy hill majority of the time people are spread out enough to not over crowd lift lines and runs. The tree runs that are available are good but there should be more.

Big White has something for everyone. It has many green and blue runs for new skiers and kids but also a lot of advanced runs for experienced skiers/riders. The village has a great vibe with many restaurants to choose from. Just one hour from a major airport (Kelowna) it will not disappoint.

Wonderful family friendly resort with lots of entertainment on and off the mountain. Lots of lift options and parts of the mountain that feel entirely unique to themselves. make sure to explore each of the lifts and all the different types of runs they serve.

Had a great time at Big White - consistent snowfall, great groomers and trees with a huge lift accessed area and plenty of spots to find pow, even days after storms. Rarely ever any crowd so wait times are always short. Options limited for apres and dining but available options are top tier. Will definitely return.

The powder on this mountain is absolutely amazing, on my snowboard I move around like butter. My absolute favourite is the park, the jumps are labeled S,M,L,XL so you know what to expect and they’re groomed to perfection!

Love this mountain we do our annual ski holiday here after discovering it a few years ago. Amazing skiing and boarding, top level park, great tree runs and easy to navigate. Has EVERYTHING you could need and want. Great for all levels and just enough of a village for everything you need. Close enough to Kelowna for a big shop before arriving
