Big White Winter Blog

That's it, that's all folks! So ends another incredible season and we sent it off with a bang with our 2nd Annual Season Ender Slush Cup. Mother Nature pulled out some glorious weather and our competitors pulled off some wild tricks. Here's a look at how you said goodbye to winter.

Yvette Morrissey is a travel blogger who has lived and worked at Big White Ski Resort for two seasons. This is her guide to getting to know the mountain, securing a job and accommodation, and other helpful local tips!

TELUS and Big White Ski Resort Ltd. hosted the fourth annual TELUS Kelowna Cup in February raising $32,564 to support amateur racing through the Big White Ski Club and the world famous Nancy Greene Race League.

The embers are still hot on another record-breaking winter season at Big White Ski Resort, which closed on Sunday, April 8, following the second annual Season Ender Slush Cup.

It’s time for us to say farewell to winter, although it seems winter is not quite ready to say goodbye itself. With a snow base currently sitting well over three metres and cumulative snowfall edging closer and closer to the 10 metre mark, the 2017-2018 winter season will not be soon forgotten. We would like to thank all those who joined us and helped make it such a memorable season.

A true Canadian winter experience doesn't have to involve shredding down the slopes on skis or a snowboard - not at all! In fact, some of the most memorable Canadian adventures and culinary destinations can be experienced by anyone, regardless of your experience on the snow. 

When you’re working hard, manoeuvring the slopes through all that champagne powder, sometimes you need a little extra fuel to make it to last chair. We checked with science, and it turns out calories don’t count on a powder day – so enjoy one (or all) of these on-mountain favourites during your next trip!
