Big White Resort is also BC's highest winter village and, because it has an annual snowfall which averages more than 750cm (24.5ft), it offers truly spectacular skiing.

Big White skiing and snowboarding

Whether you’re a beginner or expert skier, or snowboarder this resort has plenty to get excited about. Ski Big White and experience everything from cosy snow bowls to steep downhill runs. Big White Snow Resort offers the ultimate ski and snowboarding experience and has become a favourite ski resort choice in BC.

Big White Canada's famous 'champagne powder', which blankets 118 designated trails and dozens of magical pine-tree glades, is serviced by high-speed, state-of-the-art ski lifts. You can even reach the summit of the mountain itself. Standing tall at 2,319m (7,606ft) the peak has views that will leave you breathless.

Apart from world-class facilities and magical dry snow, Big White also offers that wonderful add-on to the perfect winter holiday – the chance to ski-in and ski-out of your own front door. In fact, the main street is even a ski run.

We can help organise your ski trip

Because the team at Ski Tours Canada know the ski resort intimately we can advise you on the best Big White accommodation to suit your needs at this top ski resort.

Some properties have private hot tubs, while others offer heated pools, kids play areas, theatrettes, undercover heated car parking and much more. There is accommodation at Big White Ski Resort to suit everyone. 

Want more? Well, what about the largest night-skiing area in Western Canada to grab your attention, or a ski season that stretches from November to mid-April.

Then there’s Telus Park, a purpose-built skiing and snowboarding fantasyland where everyone from children to Olympic-calibre athletes can test themselves on a range of terrains, from simple slopes to world-class monster super pipes. As the park is open as part of Big White’s night skiing area on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, the fun doesn’t have to end when the sun goes down.

As Big White Resort and Silver Star Ski Resort share the same owner, a regular muti-day lift pass or a dual-season pass (which costs around 13% more than a regular season pass) will allow you to use the facilities of both resorts – that’s almost 6,000 acres of skiing terrain! Shuttle buses run between the resorts on most days, with the journey taking around 90 minutes.
