Big White is Canada’s largest totally ski-in/ski-out resort. Its champagne powder snow has made it very popular. The 2,800 uncrowded acres offer a variety of terrain from beginner to expert. The new “Snow Ghost Express” meets the world renowned reputation on providing guests with some of the shortest lift wait times in the industry.

Big White was named North America’s best family resort with an award winning Kids Centre and many on-snow activities. The modern village has a good number of restaurants and après ski options. Your Big White liftpass is also valid at Silver Star.

 

Big White has been recognised as having the best snow in North America by the readers of Condé Nast’s Traveler. Their 2008 annual poll, which rated the top 20 ski resorts in North America, identified Big White as having cleared the field with more than 95% of the 32,000 readers agreeing that Big White is the place to go for quality snow!

 

TELUS Park is Big White's award winning progressive terrain park. The park is designed for all abilities with S, M, L & XL features allowing you to progress at your own pace. New boxes and rails are being added into the mix this year giving riders even more variety.
