If you’re looking for a holiday destination that’ll keep the kids asking, “When can we go again?” look no further than Big White Ski Resort in beautiful, British Columbia.
Big White is just a 45 minute scenic drive from Kelowna – or you can take a bit of a longer route, and explore the stunning Rock Creek highway which will take you through Boundary Country, past multiple picturesque and hidden camping locations and cozy accommodation spots.Once you find your way to Big White Ski Resort, you’ll quickly understand why for two years running, it has been voted as one of the top two resorts in all of Canada by Conde Naste Traveler readers! Besides its epic snow conditions (dry, fluffy powder the locals refer to as Okanagan Champagne Powder), totally ski-in, ski-out village, and family friendly vibes, Big White prides itself in being locally Canadian family owned and operated, which allows the resort to focus on guest experience and ensure the entire family, beginner and pro alike, has an unforgettable winter holiday.
Big White boasts Canada’s second largest lifting system, with 16 lifts servicing 119 runs of varying difficulty, meaning there’s virtually no lines even during peak season. With a green run from every lift, the whole family can explore the entire mountain, top to bottom, together. And, if you need a break from the kids, Big White is happy to announce the return of its world-renowned Kids’ Centre and daycare!
As Canada’s largest totally ski-in, ski-out Village, you can walk, ski or snowboard to every accommodation, restaurant and activity in the resort. Whether you’re looking to stay in a hotel, townhouse, or a luxurious private chalet, Big White has accommodation to suit every family and every budget. With nearly 20 on-mountain restaurants, cafes and bars, there’s no shortage of eating and apres-ski options.
There is no shortage of family friendly fun at Big White Ski Resort. Grab a pair of rental skates from the Happy Valley Day Lodge and test out the ice at Canada’s Highest Elevation Skating Rink. Pick up a tube and whiz down one of the five lanes at the Tube Park. Book yourself a dog-sled tour through Big White’s stunning backcountry. Snowshoeing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling – it’ll be tempting to spend your entire vacation exploring the non-skiing activities at the resort. Plus, after a two-year hiatus, weekly scheduled events are returning, including Tuesday Night Bingo, Moose Tube Time, and Saturday Kids’ Carnivals!
