Big White Ski Resort in conjunction with Coast Capital Savings has entered into an agreement as the official naming sponsor of the immensely popular Cruz the Blues event series.

Cruz the Blues is an on-mountain scavenger hunt challenging participants of all ages to ski or snowboard Big White’s 44 blue runs over a two-day period to unlock the secret message on their Cruz the Blues Passport. There are six Cruz the Blues events taking place over various weekends in December, January, February and March. Thousands of skiers and snowboarders participate at every event as it’s the most popular activity in the annual Big White Calendar.

“We’re excited to have Coast Capital join the Big White family as the naming sponsor of Cruz the Blues. We promote events like this to engage youth and families to experience the varied terrain at Big White Ski Resort,” says Michael J. Ballingall, senior vice president at Big White Ski Resort. “This new relationship will allow us to increase the tremendous amount of prize giveaways that has made Cruz the Blues so popular.”
