Big White Winter Blog

Big White Ski Resort is pleased to introduce you to our new Executive Chef: Boddie Macklin-Shaw! Boddie has been cooking in all of our kitchens for the past six seasons, starting as a line cook in the Kettle Valley Steakhouse in 2014 and working up to his current role as Chef de Cuisine.

As the sun rises over the mountain, and in light of yesterday’s announcement from the Provincial Health Officer, it’s locals only for another month at Big White Ski Resort. Big White Central Reservations Ltd will be calling and cancelling all bookings from non-local customers until midnight February 5.

The Big White Fire Department’s Work Experience Program recruits were thanked this past December with a gift only fitting for those living on-mountain – season passes! 

The final three contestants take part in a massive enduro race, and, in Episode 10, the winner is awarded with their pro sponsorship after another massive second day on the bike.

Being a racer isn’t just about results.

Big White Ski Resort is encouraging its guests, staff and residents to follow the Provincial Health Office orders and ring in 2021 on December 31 with only their immediate household bubble. 

At Big White Ski Resort, we are committed to enforcing the absolute BEST cleaning protocols in all of our public spaces. We’ve told you about the process in our hotels, and around the resort, and now we want to share with you a little bit about the process in our gondola cabins.

Working from home? Why not work at your home away from home – and by work, we mean strap on a pair of planks and hit the slopes. Still in the office? Well, we’re not saying we promote “calling in sick,” but we aren’t not promoting it… (please, do not come up to the mountain if you are actually sick!). Retired? What’s your excuse?! Skiing and snowboarding midweek has many perks, and we’ve compiled a few to get you pumped about that Monday to Friday, 8:45am to 3:30pm ski lifestyle.

Contestants must work with a suspension tech to dial in their suspension for the big race.
