British Columbia's First Family Day is February 11th, 2013!
As Canada's Favourite Family Resort, We're Celebrating In Style!
British Columbia now has its own Family Day! We are so excited that we're going to celebrate all weekend. Since we don't have to share our family day with other provinces, the resort won't be crowded and this means more room and wide open runs all to yourself at Big White.
To celebrate, BC residents will also receive 50% off single day retail lift tickets at the ticket window on British Columbia's first Family Day, Monday February 11th, 2013! Please present BC photo ID to the ticket window at time of purchase. We are also offering 50% off our Discover Ski Lessons, see the Ski School Beginner Page for details.
We're planning some fun family events for you on this long weekend including a snow shoe race and outdoor Family Day Carnival! You won't want to miss the Fireworks on Saturday night at 8:15pm in Happy Valley, or watch from your own hot tub! Watch our Events Calendar for more information.

Simply book any 2 consecutive nights and 2 days of skiing with Big White Central Reservations between February 8th & 14th and we’ll give you your 3rd night and 3rd day of skiing FREE.
