BIG WHITE MOUNTAIN B.C.

About Big White

Big White is situated on the edge of the Monashee mountains, a mere 56 km from Kelowna, the largest city in the Okanagan Valley. The village accommodates Canada’s most modern totally ski-in/ski-out resort properties and provides you with everything you'll need for a great vacation within walking distance. In 2007 we’ve added a new six-person chairlift, the ‘Snow Ghost Express’ to our 15 other express chairs, gondola, and surface lifts, offering one of the most comfortable lift systems in North America which guarantees you short lines.

Big White is a modern picturesque village with a true Canadian alpine architectural theme.
Awarded North America's number one Family Resort, Big White has something for everyone
and our condo gives you the opportunity to enjoy Big White at it's very best.
