The Itinerary

Big White Ski Resort, 1h from Kelowna, is one of Canada's largest fully pedestrian ski villages. Receiving 750 cm of powder per year, it's dubbed Canada's Champagne Powder Capital.

119 runs over 11 km², 16 lifts and the summit village (Black Forest, Snow Pines, Happy Valley) enable a true ski-in/ski-out experience. The snow ghosts (frost-encrusted spruce) are the iconic image. Off-piste: Mega Snow Coaster, ice rink, snowshoe trails. Easy access from Kelowna Airport (60 min).
