Big White Review Summary
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.

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.
For many years,
Something for everyone to

Beyond skiing and snowboarding, SilverStar has great cross-country trails, tubing, and snowshoeing. The village has a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with a good selection of restaurants and accommodations. However, nightlife is relatively quiet compared to larger resorts.
Overall, SilverStar is a fantastic choice for those looking for a well-rounded ski experience in a picturesque setting.
