What’s New
When’s the last time someone spent millions of dollars to show you a good time? It’s been a tough couple of years for the ski industry, but we’re on the road to recovery. We’re investing millions in machinery, resort infrastructure, lift maintenance, staff accommodation upgrades, and more to ensure your visit to the resort isn’t just back to normal, but better than ever before!

Lara’s Gondola will have 16 shiny new cabins for you to enjoy on your trip from Happy Valley up to the Village Centre and back!

Love corduroy? Well, do we have a treat for you! We’re adding two, brand-new grooming machine to our already impressive fleet, bringing the total to 12. If you know of any drivers, please have them apply!

Checking-in just got a whole lot smoother! Our new Big White Central Reservations Central Mountain Check-In building located in Happy Valley will be open to welcome guests at some point this upcoming winter.

We’re setting the industry standard in the ski world for wages – so our staff will not only love playing in the snow, they’ll love working in it, too! In all areas managed by Big White Ski Resort, we’ll be increasing hourly and salary wages.

Not only did we make you a new skier bridge at the Black Forest, we’re also paving the road to the Black Forest Day Lodge!

Expect to see a new roof while riding up the Plaza chairlift! We’ve replaced the roof on the Administration building. We’ve also upgraded our staff accommodation, painted the outside of the Village Centre Mall and renovated the Ski School Call Centre!

We’re installing state-of-the-art environmentally friendly, anti-spill fuel delivery systems made especially for alpine environments.

The haul rope on the TELUS Park Chairlift will be replaced in time for the new ski season.

After a two-season hiatus, our night skiing program will return for the winter 2022/23 ski season. Big White is home to the largest area of night skiing terrain in Western Canada, offering up 38 acres, 15 hectares, of lit-up terrain once the sun goes down. Night skiing is accessible via the Plaza Chair, Bullet Chair, and TELUS Park Chair on select evenings of the week.

BC’s newest lift-accessed bike park continues to improve, expand and become a hot destination for mountain bikers from all over North America.

UPGRADES TO EXISTING SITES: The Happy Valley Day Lodge is getting a makeover! It’ll look completely different next time you see it, with a new exterior paint job. (PS: the Happy Valley Cabins are also getting a facelift!). The Village Centre Mall is also getting a bit of exterior maintenance, and Dizzy’s and The Woods, just across the way, are both getting new shingles. We’re also putting some work in to make our staff more comfortable while they live on-mountain, replacing furniture and appliances, painting, installing new flooring and making other minor renovations to our staff accommodation.
