Forecast today: Partly cloudy
The off piste offers some great progression, starting with the gentle glades above the village centre and ending with the steeper tree runs served by the Gem Lake Express. It is also one of the most family-friendly ski resorts in North America, with true ski-in-ski-out convenience, and is ideally located to be part of a two-centre trip with nearby Silver Star.
Big White Ski Resort spans an impressive 3,140 hectares, making it Canada’s premier all ski-in, ski-out resort. Each winter, the resort is blanketed with 7.5 meters of dry, British Columbian powder, perfect for glades and tree runs. This abundant snowfall and extensive terrain make Big White one of Canada’s top destinations for off-piste skiing.
Alongside the excellent record during the day, Big White also features Western Canada’s largest night skiing area, 15 hectares of floodlit skiing.
The hub of Big White is its village centre, which also forms part of a green piste run, meaning it’s not only ski to door, but is also ski to après, the supermarket and the rental shop – there is true convenience at this resort.
Alternative accommodation is available down at Happy Valley Lodge, which is linked to the main village by a gondola, or in the condo blocks at Snow Pine Estates.
There is a good deal to do away from the slopes at Big White, including 14km of cross country trails that are groomed daily, as well as a network of marked snowshoeing paths. The resort is also home to a tubing hill and an ice rink.
