Synopsis

A weak disturbance is expected to bring isolated flurries today and strong ridge winds today/tonight. Next, a weak ridge of high pressure brings fair and dry conditions with light ridge winds tomorrow. Finally, an impulse is expected to move through the area on Thursday with periods of snow and moderate-strong ridge winds. Freezing levels at valley bottom today, rising up to 1000 m tomorrow/Thursday.

3 to 5 Day Outlook

In the wake of the impulse, mostly cloudy conditions and strong ridge winds are expected on Friday. Clearing Friday night with mainly sunny skies and light-moderate ridge winds on Saturday. Cooler temperatures in the -10C to -16C range as freezing levels fall to valley bottom on Friday/Saturday.

Resort Elevations:

Valley Base (City of Kelowna) - 344m (1,128 ft)
Bottom of Gem Lake Express – 1,511m (4,957 ft)
Village Centre – 1,755m (5,757 ft)
Summit – 2,319m (7,606 ft)

Visitors should be aware that mountain weather can be variable and change quickly. Daytime temperatures can be 5C to 10C degrees cooler at the summit and sky conditions may vary with elevation. Summit levels are also often breezier as wind flows unimpeded by trees and buildings. If you are headed to the top, be prepared, dress appropriately and you be sure to enjoy all that Big White Mountain Resort has to offer. We will update our Weather Forecast daily during our Summer Hours of Operation.
