Big White Ski Resort is known for many incredible features. As Canada's largest family-owned ski resort, we boast the second-largest ski lift system in the nation. With 2,834 acres of skiable terrain, 119 expertly groomed trails, and 16 lifts, there's something for every skill level. Our legendary "Okanagan Champagne Powder" draws snow enthusiasts from around the world, while our extensive amenities cater to all visitors.

Beyond our impeccable slopes, the vibrant Big White Village offers a myriad of activities, restaurants, and unique experiences. From snowshoeing and snowmobiling to dog sledding and cozy après ski dining, there's always an adventure waiting. In 2024, we expanded our wellness offerings by introducing The Spa at Stonebridge, delivering a truly tranquil alpine relaxation experience.

We take pride in being Canada's largest ski-in, a ski-out resort with lodging options through Big White Central Reservations that accommodate every type of traveller. Whether you're seeking a cozy, budget-friendly stay or a luxurious ski chalet complete with a private hot tub, we've got you covered.

When winter gives way to summer, Big White transforms into an adventurer's playground. The warmer months bring an array of exciting festivals and outdoor activities like downhill mountain biking and breathtaking hiking trails with panoramic views of the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains.

Big White Ski Resort is not just about skiing and snowboarding; it's also a unique and vibrant community. Events like the AltiTunes Music Festival, Canada's largest après-ski music festival, and Big Red's Winter Wine Festival, created in partnership with the Okanagan Wine Festival, bring people together in celebration. Our charitable initiatives and events reflect our deep commitment to giving back to the community.
