Big White Ski Resort: All you can ski powder
Where do you go for snow? And not just any snow – an annual average of 750cm of bone dry, perfectly fluffy Okanagan Champagne Powder. Big White Ski Resort, in super, natural British Columbia is the mountain your ski legs didn’t know they needed this winter – and with 16 lifts accessing 119 runs from beginner greens to cruisy blues, steep blacks, mogul-filled double blacks, cliff drops, untouched and endless glades, knee-deep powder bowls, it’s a mountain for the whole family.
If the promise of epic snow conditions alone doesn’t convince you to hop on a plane and visit Canada’s 2nd Best Ski Resort, as voted by Conde Naste readers, then maybe a free, all-inclusive getaway will! This winter, Big White Ski Resort and Air Canada are giving away a five-night holiday for four people, complete with luxury lodging, lift tickets, flights and transfers – valued at over $8,000! The contest opens November 28 and runs until December 31. Contest details.
Direct Flight to Kelowna
Despite a four-province divide, getting to Big White Ski Resort from Quebec has never been easier. Thanks to Air Canada’s new non-stop flight from Montreal to Kelowna, you can finish a day’s work, hop on a plane, grab a ride Big White’s airport shuttle, and enjoy a scenic 55-minute tour through the mountains and be at your home-away-from-home in . Whether you’re looking for a chalet, a room, a townhouse, a cabin, Big White Central Reservations has something for every need and budget – and can help coordinate everything from lift tickets to outdoor non-skiing activities during your stay.
Speaking of non-skiing activities, Big White has a bundle to choose from. Whiz through the snow-covered forests on a dog sled; channel your inner NHL player on the outdoor skating rink; plough through untouched powder on the back of a snowmobile; jingle under starry skies on a horse-drawn sleigh – if you’re looking to give yourself a break from the slopes, the options are endless.

Big White Ski Resort's Après-Ski
Or maybe the burn from all those turns requires a cold pint of local brew and an epic mountain sunset. With nearly 20 on-mountain restaurants, pubs and cafes, there’s no shortage of apres havens at Big White Ski Resort. And, as an added bonus, you can get to all of them without having to unstrap your skis. In fact, the entire Village at Big White Ski Resort is completely ski-in, ski-out, so the only reasons to unstrap are to eat, sleep, and well, use the facilities.
While the snow might be the reason to visit Big White this winter, and winning a free holiday might get you there, the diverse terrain, family-friendly vibes, ease of access, food and drink is what will keep you coming back, winter after winter.
