We travelled to Big White in July for a 5 day hiking trip. The trails were marvelous and varied with great views. We hiked during the week and were surprised as to how quiet the trails were, we passed very few fellow hikers. The chairlift only operates Thursday to Sunday, we enjoyed the smooth running chairlift. The biking trails were more popular than the hiking trails. When we arrived on a Tuesday the Village felt like a Ghost Town,very few holidayers but lots of constuction. Unfortunately the sereneity was ruined by the sound of heavy trucks at 7am and the following hammering at other sites. It was all okay as when you climbed the mountain it was serene. The Village was disappointing as only a few restaurants were operational in the summer,and then only Thurdsay to Sunday with limited hours. For the most part the restaurants were average with a limited menu, the Global and the Woods were our best experiences. The biggest disappointment was the Market, not at all like it's web page.The pictuerd deli was completely empty,no fresh pizza only a few sausage rolls and meat pies sitting under a heat lamp. The vegetable selection was of poor quality and very sparse, the only bread was Dempsters white. I am glad we planned ahead brought food with us. Our accomadation at the Inn at Big White was basic, large , clean and resonably priced. the cooking facilities are limited but functional. The Inn has a nice outdoor pool. I would rate the hiking trails, location anf chairlift as 5 stars. The Village I rate as 3 stars.

Fantastic days hiking up Big White. Trails very well marked and would definitely say hike up and ski lift back down. Would like to have tried the MTB trail but didn’t have time. We will be back. Not much happening in the resort, much is closed (summer) but managed a beer at the only bar open. 🇨🇦👍

Don’t miss out on the Horse Sleigh ride at Big White!! Hank and Willy the two gorgeous Percheron horses, lead by Lynsay will take you on a fun Sleigh ride through the woods. You get to interact with the horses too. We loved it.

My 2 teenage kids and I went on one of the best experiences of our lives, when we went dog sledding at Big White. We got to meet the beautiful Alaskan Huskies and watched with amazement and admiration as they so keenly did their ‘work’ of pulling the sleds along the snowy and tree-lined trails. We were very well looked after by our hosts. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough!

Family of 4 from New Zealand visiting Big White for the first time. Kids 10 and 12. Wow !! What an unforgettable experience, incredible deep dry snow, friendly helpful staff, unpretentious, really well stocked market for cooking at home, a bottle shop and more than enough options for eating out. Family friendly, particularly the happy valley area. Awesome fireworks display every saturday night. Loved the tea room for great coffee. Kids had a ski lesson on the first day which set them up really well for finding their way around the mountain and boosted their confidence. Loads of wide green ski runs, and heaps of options for more experienced skiers/boarders. Rented gear for the whole stay and lift pases once you have the initial card is reloadable online. If you forget or lose any gear there are a couple of big shops for that in the village, they have everything you need. It was pretty foggy for most of our time which is not unusual for here, get some good googles for flat light. Did the sleigh ride and it was the most magical experience, Lynsey was fantastic and so knowledgeable, if you go on the later trip at 4.30 the lights will be coming on which makes it extra pretty. Accomodation wise we stayed at woodcutter cabins which being halfway between the top.and the bottom.of the gondola was a bit tricky at times. If travelling with young kids, bad knees or no car it would be a better bet to stay at the top or the bottom near the gondola for easy getting around. The half hourly free shuttle helps for grocery runs. I see some negative reviews on here regarding grooming of runs and service etc but if you're visiting from NZ or OZ this place will not disappoint, everyone's friendly, portions are generous and the snow is incredible. Oh yeah it's a card only mountain, no cash. Have fun!

We arrived just as it was snowing. The next two days were epic powder days. The locals said it was the best of the season so far. We had fresh tracks all day. Tree skiing was insane. We stayed at Crystal Inn. Best location out of all the accomodation choices. Right next to the slope. Very close to the restaurants and shops. We had such a great time.

We had a fabulous family vacation at Big White. Every single person we dealt with was helpful and friendly. It was great to use Central Reservations for the booking. They made everything easy and they chose a perfect accomodation for us. The condo we had was fabulous. It was larger than it looked in the photos and perfect for 6 of us plus additional visitors for meals. It was truly ski-in, ski-out. There's lots of varied terrain with something for everyone. Lots of long Blue and Green runs. Even though this was probably the worst winter ever for snowfall, we had good snow some days, lots of fog and rain, some sun, some icy and foggy conditions. Despite the less than perfect conditions we had a great vacation and got lots of runs in. I use a wheelchair and ski in a sitski and everything was easy. We had some maintenance issues with our accomodation and these were rectified immediately with grace and friendliness. The lifties were top notch. They paid attention to all the skiers and they were very accomdating in helping make it as easy as possible for me to access the lifts. They were trained in how to help a sitskier. The grooming of the hills at Big White is also excellent. We give Big White A++ for customer service. We will definitely be back!

Big white is the place to go!! Family friendly to the max, green and black runs off every chair for me and my bf to meet up where he can do a black and I can cruise greens all day!! great fun for the entire crew!! Also amazing food, wine store is also a little hidden gem!

We did the sleigh ride on February 13. I can't recommend this enough! Friendly guide, gentle terrain and the views are stunning. We didn't;t do the sleigh ride + dinner, just the ride. But it was fantastic! HIGHLY recommended!

Hands down best ski resort I have been at! I flew in with a few friends and stayed at a rented condo. We were just across the road from the Bullet Express chair lift. This was the first hill we have been at with a “media card” and it was easily the greatest invention ever made. We bought our tickets online to save some money, got our cards printed the first day we arrived, and anytime we wanted to add another day online, it would just load up on the card and we DIDN’T have to go back to the ticket window each time! What a time saver! We lucked out with only one day of pretty poor visibility, but it was an incredible trip with SO MANY runs and for all levels! The cherry on top of our daily tickets was the night skiing that came with it! What a blast ruling down those hills at night, it was incredible scenery with the pitch black sky and bright white frosted trees. We explored majority of the mountain while we were there but we did eventually hitting up our favourites each day as much as we could. We did notice that the right side of the hill with Bullet Express and Black Forest chair lifts were shorter lines, as well as powder gulch on the left side. What is great is you can just keep riding either direction to find more and more runs and it’s just a massive playground! They have done a marvellous job on the upkeep and maintenance of the hill and the lifties were all absolutely great humans and had great suggestions on where to check out next. We have already planned our next trip for 2025 to come back and do it all again. This mountain is a MUST!
