Big White boasts, "We use only dry, natural Okanagan Powder." The village sits at 5,700 feet (B.C.'s highest base area) and lifts carry skiers up to 7,600 feet. That's about the same elevation as Whistler Blackcomb, but the air and snow are considerably dryer this far inland. One of Big White's signature features is its tree skiing.

Big White boasts a longer than average ski season running from mid-November to mid-April.

With four high-speed quads and nine lifts, skiers and snowboarders can explore a wide range of terrain, including phenomenal powder bowls, glades and marked trails.

Big White also has three state of the art snowboard parks and half-pipes built to competition standards. There are also 25 km(15.5 miles) of cross-country trails. The Bullet high-speed quad and Plaza quad chairs access night skiing and riding five nights a week. 38 acres are illuminated for night skiing and riding.
