A Mountain That Welcomes Everyone
The philosophy at Big White is that "every chair here has a green run," highlighting the resort's dedication to inclusiveness. With 119 runs, including 18% designated for beginners, the resort assures that mastering the basics will open up the entire mountain for your exploration. This inclusive strategy allows beginners to fully experience the splendour and excitement of Big White, unrestricted by their level of experience.
Adventures for the Whole Family
Family involvement for young students is very important. Children under 12 are required to have a parent with them, but there is no need for the adults to be equipped unless they want to join the fun. This approach creates a nurturing atmosphere for the little ones to experience their first thrilling moments on the snow under the careful supervision of their guardians.
Never Too Late to Start
Age should never be a barrier to learning how to ski or snowboard. Overcoming the mental obstacles that can deter older beginners, the school encourages everyone to take on the challenge. The key is having an open mind and a sense of adventure!
