Picture yourself gliding down the pristine slopes, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of snow-covered mountains at Big White Resort. The resort boasts over 2,765 acres of skiable terrain, catering to all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner learning the ropes or an advanced rider seeking challenging runs, Big White has something for everyone, including the Telus Park, with a racetrack, rail slides, jumps and a half pipe. Secret tip for finding Tarynn on the hill… She has a special place in her heart for the trees around the Powder Chair.
For those who prefer a different kind of thrill, tubing at the Big White Tube Park is a blast. Imagine racing down specially designed lanes on an inflatable tube, laughter echoing as you spin and slide through the snow. It’s a delightful activity for families and friends alike.
If you’re up for a more serene adventure, snowshoeing is a fantastic way to explore the winter wonderland at a slower pace. The marked trails guide you through snow-covered forests and open meadows, offering a peaceful escape into the snowy wilderness.
Alongside the snowshoe trails is an excellent Nordic Ski trail system. Tarynn and Matt are avid Nordic fans, and love the terrain of the Big White Nordic runs. Lots of ups and towns, fun curves and absolutely magical scenery. It just might be Tarynn’s most wonderfully favourite time of year, when the season starts and she gets fresh tracks. You can take this kind of skiing either way too, make it hardcore full body cardio, or make it a serene glide through the forest.
For the more adventurous souls, ice climbing is an exhilarating option. The resort provides opportunities to climb frozen waterfalls, adding a vertical dimension to your winter escapades. It’s an experience that combines physical challenge with awe-inspiring natural beauty.
As the day winds down, hop on a charming sleigh for a scenic ride through the snow-covered landscape. The gentle jingle of bells and the crisp mountain air create a magical atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of activities.
Or, keeping the sporting activities going with Night Skiing on the Bullet Chair, or the crazy fun Tube Park, or skating and hockey on the ice rink. Bring your S’mores kit because they’ve usually got a blazing bonfire to cozy up to.
And when night falls, Big White comes alive with its vibrant apres-ski scene. Cozy up in a mountain lodge or explore the restaurants and bars, enjoying delicious cuisine and perhaps some live music to complete your day in this snowy paradise. Big White Resort is more than just a destination; it’s an immersive winter experience that caters to a diverse range of interests and preferences.
