From Kid-Friendly Live Music to DJs & Doubles – Where to Aprés at Big White Ski Resort

Posted On: February 28, 2023 |
Whether you’re a fair-weather, all-day aprés kind of skier or snowboarder, or a first-on, last-off kind of skier or snowboarder, Big White Ski Resort has you covered

From live music to drink specials, family friendly games and late-night dance parties, there’s always something to do after the lifts stop spinning! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Snowshoe Sam’s Late Night Fun
Voted number one ski bar in North America, Snowshoe Sam’s has been known for decades as the place to party at Big White! Back in the 80s, that used to mean hot tubs right in the bar (that’s right – where the pool tables are now!), and today, looks more like karaoke, live DJs, jam nights, drink specials, and of course, delicious pub food. Be sure to check out the restaurant’s website for upcoming one-off events and weekly specials.

Burger & Beer at The Woods Outdoor Concession
Located in the heart of the Village, you can ski or snowboard right to the entrance of The Woods’ vibrant outdoor patio space. Kick back and enjoy a snack, warm drink, or cold beer from the outdoor concession 11am to 4pm daily, or enjoy a more robust menu indoors 11:00am - 9:00pm, Wednesday - Sunday.

Happy Valley Live Music & Food Specials
Head down to the Happy Valley Day Lodge nearly EVERY night of the week for a kid-friendly aprés experience. On Tuesdays, there’s Bingo, Thursdays there’s Trivia, and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, live music with Jon Bos – not to mention tasty food specials at the Happy Valley cafeteria!

Live Music, Wine & More at Globe Cafe
When Jon Bos isn’t performing in the Happy Valley Day Lodge, he’s up at Globe Cafe in the Village! Join him (most) Friday and Saturday nights from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, as well as Sunday afternoons from 4pm to 6pm. Globe also hosts an array of events including Wine Wednesdays, Burlesque Nights, Drag Shows, WineMaker Dinners, and boasts an impressive line-up of cocktails with an italian inspired menu!

3 Happy Hours at Bullwheel
Happy hours just got a whole lot happier… The BullWheel Gastro Family Pub, located right next to Lara’s Gondola has not one, not two, but THREE happy hours Monday to Friday: 9am to 10 am, 4pm to 5pm and 9pm to 10pm. Enjoy an extensive selection of cocktails, local brews and Okanagan wines, as well as plenty of kid-friendly options including the world-famous Bullwheel pink donuts!

Tacos, Margs, & EPIC Patio Views
Craving some Mexican at 5,757 feet above sea level? Cantina del Centro, located in the Inn at Big White, is not only home to an impressive list of tequilas and mezcals and authentic Mexican street food, it also serves up epic patio views of the Monashee mountains! Don’t miss out on 4 for 3 Taco Tuesdays!

Aprés Your Way
Who says you have to leave your home-away-from-home to have fun!? Relax in your private hot tub, grab a bottle of Okanagan vino from The Market, turn on the tunes and enjoy all the comforts of aprés-ing without having to leave your accommodation.
