Big White Ski Resort Ltd would like to send out sincere apologies to those affected, triggered or concerned by our comments made to the media earlier this week. Our intention was never to diminish the devastation of flooding throughout the province of British Columbia, but to give some certainty to the travelling public, families and the tourism industry during the upcoming holiday season.

Here at Big White Ski Resort, we know we’re a great resort, and apparently so do the readers of Condé Nast Traveler! The prestigious magazine recently released a list of the “Top 5 Ski Resorts in Canada: Readers' Choice Awards 2021” and our beautiful resort came in the second spot, with a score of 80.3 – just 0.3 points of the top spot.

In any normal winter, Cameron Birch and his family of five would pack their bags for an all-inclusive vacation somewhere warm and sunny.

But when the pandemic kept them from booking a trip south, the Kelowna family looked closer to home and bought season passes to Big White Ski Resort for the first time.

From humble beginnings to a world class, international ski & snowboard destination, Big White Ski Resort continues to evolve with influence from our community.

How are you supporting your favourite Canadian tourism destination?

Big White Ski Resort is pleased to donate $15,000 to the Central Okanagan Food Bank (COFB), matching the over $15,000 donated by skiers, snowboarders and Central Okanagan locals. Throughout the month of March, and in conjunction with the TELUS Snowcross Challenge, Big White coordinated a matching donation campaign, which ended up raising $38,650 for the COFB.

Big White Ski Resort and The Woods restaurant have been recognized among the best in Canada based on Outstanding 2019 Traveler and Diner reviews.

We know Big White is the best – how could we not? An average of 750cm of dry, fluffy Okanagan Champagne Powder in the Winter and fields upon fields of alpine wildflowers in the Summer? Sounds pretty epic to us... and, guess what, the rest of Kelowna seems to think we’re the best, too!
