Big White Mountain
is located northeast of the community of
Kelowna, British Columbia in the Okanagan Valley. Big White is
a year round recreation destination popular for mountain biking
and hiking in the summer and skiing and snowboarding in the winter.
Big White is a full service resort with accommodations,
restaurants and pubs. The mountain resort is best known for its
winter recreation. The popular ski hill is a full service destination
with over 118 designated ski trails and some 27+ unnamed ski runs.
Big White covers over about 4500 ha (11,000 acres) with a vertical
drop of 777 m (2550 ft).
Big White ski runs are tailored for the intermediate skier and
up - as 18% of the runs are "Green Runs" designed for
beginners. 54% of the runs are for the Intermediate skier while
22% for expert skiers. 6% of the ski runs are for, what they call,
"Extreme" skiers. The whole system of ski runs is serviced
by 15 ski lifts including a Gondola. There is a snow board park
with rails, pipes and a 1/2 pipe.
The Big White Village enjoys many services and amenities. Spread
out through the ski resort are many restaurants, some ski rental
shops, gift stores and 8 bars and lounges. There is a skating
rink, an Adventure Park with a tube ride.
On the mountain there is a good selection of vacation homes,
cottages, condos, town houses, 3 hotels and 1 youth hostel. But,
like all ski hills in British Columbia, accommodation availability
dwindles in the winter and spring ski season.
Big White Ski Resort also offers helicopter
ski tours, night skiing and snowmobile tours to groups.
