- Jan 16, 2020: “Big White offers an extraordinary choice of runs - groomers, trees, steep and deep plus a menacing bowl. It’s a true Canadian ski town. There’s little dazzle, shopping is very much for skiers, boarders and climbers. ” 0
- Jan 6, 2020: “Great montano but over-subscribed. This means it is really busy especially in peak season. The resort has a lot of beds. So weekends & holidays are crazy. There is some good skiing to be had if you don’t mind crowds and long lift lines” 1
