Big White Ski Resort

Since its inception in 1963, Big White Ski Resort has solidified its status as a premier, world-renowned destination just 56 km southeast of Kelowna. This locally family-owned gem prides itself on having Canada's second-largest ski lift system, covering 2,765 acres with 119 meticulously groomed trails and 16 lifts. Each winter, the resort invites enthusiasts of all skill levels to revel in the legendary "Okanagan Champagne Powder" while offering a wide array of amenities and activities that cater to all visitors.

Beyond the powdery slopes, Big White captivates with its vibrant village life, bustling with activities and locally owned dining options that guarantee an exhilarating and unique experience. The mountain is a thrill-seeker's paradise, from snowshoeing and dog sledding to snowmobiling. In 2024, the resort opened The Spa at Stonebridge, which now offers guests the ultimate alpine relaxation experience throughout the winter. As Canada's largest ski-in, ski-out resort, it offers diverse lodging options—from cozy, budget-friendly accommodations to luxurious condos with private hot tubs and spacious ski chalets—ensuring every guest finds their perfect fit.

When the snow gives way to summer, Big White transforms into a lively festival locale and an adventurer's playground. The resort hosts various activities, including downhill mountain biking and scenic hikes, showcasing the stunning vistas of the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains.

Big White Ski Resort is not just about skiing and snowboarding. It's a community that hosts dynamic, collaborative events like the AltiTunes Music Festival - Canada's largest après ski music festival and Big Red's Winter Wine Festival, presented in partnership with the Okanagan Wine Festival. The resort also significantly impacts local charities through various events and fundraising efforts throughout the year. Its partnership with Protect Our Winters Canada underscores its deep commitment to sustainability and community support.
