Food & Dining

Out-of-this-world views, dry, fluffy snow, mild temperatures – there are many reasons the Okanagan Valley is a favourite winter destination. And at Big White Ski Resort, you can enjoy it all while sipping on a glass of world-class vino made within a couple hundred kilometre radius.

Looking for a way to warm up after shredding the slopes at Big White Ski Resort this winter? Well, Underground Pizza’s massive new hot sauce collection should do the trick! The popular restaurant, located in Trapper’s Crossing, now boasts a collection of 60 different varieties of hot sauce for guests to spice up their pizzas and donairs with – or drink straight, if they dare!

In skiing, a yard sale can mean a bad wipeout – but at Big White Ski Resort, it can also mean a delicious and locally roasted cup of coffee.

Big White Ski Resort’s Executive Chef Rob Walker has been named one of six Okanagan-area chefs to compete in next fall’s “Canada’s Great Kitchen Party” culinary competition – for the second time in three years. Formerly called the Gold Medal Plates, Chef Walker competed in the 2016 semi-finals in Victoria, where he was up against nine other BC-based chefs to secure a spot in the finals.

It’s the time of year when nothing tastes better than a cold, frothy pint on a sun-soaked patio. The craft beer movement has taken hold of North America, and Big White Ski Resort is no exception. Use this guide to help you navigate Big White’s craft beer scene – from our very own on-mountain brewery to beer-centric festivals to slope-side patios. 

As if the Okanagan Champagne Powder, the snow ghosts and the completely ski-in-ski-out Village weren’t enough to make Big White Ski Resort stand out, we are also the first ski resort in North America to have our very own chocolates – dreamt up, designed and distributed by Executive Chef Rob Walker.

A true Canadian winter experience doesn't have to involve shredding down the slopes on skis or a snowboard - not at all! In fact, some of the most memorable Canadian adventures and culinary destinations can be experienced by anyone, regardless of your experience on the snow. 

When you’re working hard, manoeuvring the slopes through all that champagne powder, sometimes you need a little extra fuel to make it to last chair. We checked with science, and it turns out calories don’t count on a powder day – so enjoy one (or all) of these on-mountain favourites during your next trip!

Grab your friends and face paint because Big White is the place to be on game day this Sunday! These on-mountain restaurants & bars are serving up an all-star line-up of food and drink specials to celebrate the big game.
