Big White Winter Blog

At the end of January, Kelsey Rey (Serwa) and her mom spent the evening dining through the village at Big White Ski Resort. They stopped at four different restaurants, experiencing some of the best each venue had to offer. We got the lowdown on this culinary adventure from the Olympic Gold Medalist herself.

Today we celebrate our 100-day guarantee, as part of our rebate 2020 season pass program. Plus, there are no new cases to report. Today truly is a good day to go skiing, especially with 20cm overnight.

Now a year into this pandemic, we know all too well how tied to our computers, cellphones, and desks we need to be to keep things running smoothly, and we know those vacations to sunny beaches and exotic locations have been put on hold. Our fingers are stiff from typing, our eyes are sore from staring at the computer, our vacation days are racking up, and, to be honest, we’re just kind of tired of always making sure we look presentable in our Zoom meetings.

With 18 cm of Okanagan Champagne Powder overnight, 35 cm this week and -5C in the forecast, it's shaping up to be a beautiful weekend ahead. This afternoon, we're pleased to report only one additional case has been added to the Big White Mountain COVID-19 Community Cluster. There are 11 active cases in isolation on or off mountain. 

As we head into Family Day Long Weekend, we want to thank you for being such a big part of the Big White family, for supporting us through this pandemic, and for following along as we navigate the COVID-19 cluster linked to Big White mountain.

We have such amazing guests here at Big White Ski Resort, so when we hit our 200cm Alpine Base, we wanted to celebrate by sharing some of our favourite photos of the season. Thank you for voting, and helping us nail down the top 10!

At the end of January, Kelowna-based foodie and photographer Kenny from @HeyHangryHippo visited Big White Ski Resort to explore the vast variety of food and drink options available at the snowy winter wonderland.

Time to bundle up! We're in a cold snap up here at Big White Ski Resort, with temperatures dipping below -30C with wind chill in the alpine. Remember to dress in layers, pack extra masks – they get wet and freeze – and be aware of signs of frostbite. There are plenty of place to thaw those fingers and toes, but please be respectful of the COVID-19 safety protocols in our day lodges and buildings.

Interior Health is reporting an additional four cases in the Big White COVID-19 Community Cluster, with 20 active and in isolation on or off mountain.

We’d like to take this opportunity to remind all visitors that masks are mandatory at Big White Ski Resort. You must wear a mask in all buildings, in lift lines, and when loading and unloading the lift. Failure to do so will result in removal of pass, which has happened on two occasions in the past 24 hours.
