Big White Winter Blog

From humble beginnings to a world class, international ski & snowboard destination, Big White Ski Resort continues to evolve with influence from our community.

How are you supporting your favourite Canadian tourism destination?

Big White Ski Resort is closed for the winter season, and we look forward to welcoming guests on the mountain, July 1, 2021.

Big White Ski Resort is pleased to donate $15,000 to the Central Okanagan Food Bank (COFB), matching the over $15,000 donated by skiers, snowboarders and Central Okanagan locals. Throughout the month of March, and in conjunction with the TELUS Snowcross Challenge, Big White coordinated a matching donation campaign, which ended up raising $38,650 for the COFB.

I just want to reach out and say thank you to all our staff this season. It doesn’t matter whether you were de-icing lifts or pouring coffees, you helped Big White get through its most complicated and toughest season ever. The effort that everyone has made to keep the resort safe and running has been monumental. You did it and we got there. Thank you.

Interior Health is advising anyone who attended a congregate event at Big White Ski Resort on March 29 that they have put themselves at risk of contracting COVID-19 and should monitor themselves closely for symptoms of COVID-19.

Big White Ski Resort Ltd has made the difficult decision to close for the season on Monday, April 5 at 4pm, six days earlier than the scheduled date of April 11, to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and the recent surge in P.1 variant cases in British Columbia.

After four weeks of no new cases, and a successful immunization clinic on the mountain last weekend, Interior Health's Dr. Silvina Mema has declared the COVID-19 Community cluster at Big White Mountain contained.

Firstly, I wanted to say that this policy may be subject to change due to recommendations and best practices within the industry and as mandated by local, provincial and federal government bodies.

Interior Health will be on the mountain Saturday March 20 and Sunday March 21 to vaccinate people who live in a congregate setting within a non-family household at Big White.
