This coming year is going to be truly historic for British Columbia and Canada with the 2010 Games in our own backyard. To celebrate and honor the Games Big White Ski Resort will have a special event, in addition to our famous family activities, every day throughout the two weeks of the Games, complete with daily medal presentations. We will have participation prizes for everyone! There will be Torchlight and Nations Flag parade to launch the Games and don’t miss the closing Ceremonies party at Happy Valley. We’ll also be tuned into the Games at all times throughout our restaurants, bars and Village Centre so you won’t miss any of the action
