Big White Ski Resort

Big White Ski Resort is one big winter playground. Here, at Canada’s largest totally ski-in/ski-out resort village, you’ll find loads of deep Okanagan powder (25 feet annually), 16 lifts, 119 runs, and 1,147 hectares (2,765 acres) of skiable terrain for powderhounds of all ages and abilities.

Cross-country skiers and snowshoers can choose from 25 kilometres (16 miles) of Nordic and dog-friendly wilderness trails, while families can add tubing, dogsledding, snowmobiling, horse drawn sleigh rides, and skating to their winter holiday. The resort also has a full calendar of fun family events from weekly fireworks to the family-favourite “Moose Cruz” where skiers and snowboarders are encouraged to track down clues throughout the mountain, via their phones.

  • Apr 6, 2024: “I've been to Big White 4 times now. Sometimes fresh deep snow and sometimes blue sky and sun. Always a great base with very few people in the lineup or on the slopes. Every kind of terrain from above the tree line to an amazing park to long easy green runs. Sundance resort offers everything adults to kids could ask for plus a free shuttle anytime you don't feel like taking the short little walk to the village. I've been to many ski resorts and this is my favorite place to ski and snowboard with family and friends.” 1
  • Mar 30, 2024: “Big White Ski Resort is a must ski destination in Canada - particularly if looking for a family-friendly environment. I live in Toronto, Ontario and have visited the resort three times now for some long weekend ski trips with an old friend who lives in Kelowna, BC. Typically great snow conditions, with a broad range a skiable terrain for all abilities. The resort has good accommodation (I recommend using its CENRES central reservation services as opposed to trying to figure out what will work best for you) and many activities and food services to choose from when not on one of the 119 runs or 16 lifts (which had very few line-ups during my visits in mid-January and late March). Of note, foggy conditions are common, otherwise, expect value for your money and a great time at Big White Ski Resort!” 2
