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.

Great mountain. They get lots of good snow here so typically theres lots of pow. They have some crazy steep runs if youre up for the challenge. Lots of fun side hits and little jumps throughout the runs. Great mountain.

We have been going to Big White annually for 6 years for a week from Ontario. It is a perfect place for riders of all levels, families, couples and nightlife. Theres a little bit for everyone. The village is great for food options and other activities. We stay at copper kettle and we will likely continue to go back annually.

Big White Ski Resort is an amazing family run resort for all levels of skiers and snowboarders. The mountain is beautiful with a mix of groomed and ungroomed runs and beautiful views. You can ski for many days and never do the same run twice.Most accommodations are ski-in ski-out and the village is great. The restaurants are really good and there are lots of options.The staff are all super friendly and helpful. There are lots of activities and it is very family friendly. I highly recommend Big White.

I have been at big white the last two seasons and it has been an amazing experience every time Ive been up, some tips are Black Forest lodge/ chair lift is much less foggy on those days. Weekends can tend to fill up the mountain but weekdays are quite empty making it very nice for some calm riding

Absolutely love Biggie! While its not the largest resort, its so much fun to ride. The value for money is miles ahead of whistler blackcomb and its quieter, meaning you spend less time in lift lines. Theres always good powder and some fun jumps along the tree line. Plus if you get the day pass, it includes night riding for free.

A local discount should be offered. Discounted tickets or rain checks for terrible weather and visibility which is frequent at this resort. Great food good atmosphere!

Ive been to Big White 3 times- the pow never disappoints! Would love to go again, especially for the good food and village vibe, but mainly for the professional and serious slopes they have. PS the tubing was always hilarious!

Beautiful family friendly resort. This mountain offers tubing, horse rides through the forest, open air ice rink, a massive lodge with family events each evening. The village is small but has everything you need. The only downside is that it desperately needs a family friendly affordable hotel that includes a pool and breakfast. :)
