Big White


"...Big White has one of my most favourite runs...Rollercoaster, aptly names it is a perfectly timed rolling blue cruiser that makes you look like an expert...I love that !"
 

Resort

Big White is in our opinion one of the best family ski resorts in the world, it is largely undiscovered by the European Market but does rate very highly with the Australian and New Zealand skiers...let's keep it our secret.

Big White has the largest ski in ski out village in Canada, with a fantastic range of accommodation. Starting with hostel style hotel rooms right through to multi bedroom luxury condos with their own private hot-tubs. Stonebridge Lodge with it's executive grade condos is one of the best locations in the village and the Copper Kettle Condos are pure luxury.

Make sure you take time out during your stay at Big White with a visit to a spa, Big White has two to choose from: Beyond Wrapture and Elevation Village Spa.

Recognising what a great family resort Big White is are Ski Canada rating the Kid's Centre as the "Best Resort Feature for Kids" in Canada and the UKs London Daily Mail rating it as "one of the top five in the world".
