Discover a true Canadian experienceat Big White Ski Resort. Located in thepicturesque Okanagan Valley, Big White isblessed with a mild sunny climate, cham-pagne powder in the winter and endlessactivities – from skating on Canada's high-est outdoor rink, scaling the 60 foot iceclimbing tower, being pulled behind a tra-ditional dog sled, racing down the tubepark to a relaxing massage, hiking to theSummit, soaking in your condo's hot tubor shopping in the Village Centre Mall.
Come wintertime, It’s no wonder BigWhite’s motto is, "It's the Snow”, with anaverage snowfall of 750cm (24.5 feet) ofchampagne powder blanketing the 2,765acres of skiable terrain each year. In fact,the snow is so impressive, Big White hasbeen awarded with “The best place to gofor quality snow” by Condé Nast theWorld’s premiere travel magazine.
Once the snow melts, the picturesque nat-ural beauty just doesn’t stop. Hike themarked walking trail or take a scenic touron the Bullet Chair and enjoy the mountainwild flowers and lush nature that sur-rounds you. You might even be surprisedto learn that in winter months you’ve beenskiing beside a lake! See pages 56 - 59 forsome wonderful summer images and BigWhite’s Summer Hiking Trail map.
To appease your appetite, head to oneof the local restaurants, pubs or coffeeshops, see pages 6 - 9.

As a parent, I want to know my kids arehaving a great time and at Big White SkiResort, I know they are! Ski Canada hasrated The Big White Ski Resort Kid'sCentre as the Best Resort Feature forKids in Canada. If your kids are aged 18 months to 5 yearsand are too small for skiing or just can’thandle a full day on the slopes, the TotTown Daycare is perfect. It wasvoted Best Place to beAbandoned by YourParents by Ski CanadaMagazine.
Even though this is a ski resort, there's a lotmore to do than just ski or board! The BigWhite Tube Park is a blast for kids of allages and my kids love the Mini È(s, skatingand playing hockey on the outdoor pond!There's a reason Big White Ski Resort wasvoted xFamily Ski Resort of the Yearx bySnow Action Magazine - there's so manyways to create life-long family memories.
And remember, safety is important! BigWhite Ski Resort offers a complimentary
helmet program to protect your childas they master the slopes.
