In a collaborative effort between seasoned park masterminds, dedicated grooming staff and a long lasting sponsorship commitment from TELUS  means parks with safe, precision features all winter long, said SBC resort guide.
No wonder they've helped produce such talent as TJ Schiller, Mark Sollars, Geoff Pepperdine, Jess Kimura and Josh Bibby.

The SBC resort guides tip is "definitely spend some time in the ultra refined TELUS terrain parks at both Big White and Silver Star. TELUS and both resorts have invested millions of dollars in the design and upkeep of world class parks with immaculate features".

Also, adds Jess Kimura "Get more bang for your buck with the dual mountain passes that are the same price but valid at both resorts.  What you see is what you get, theres is no stuck up luxury resort attitudes here, the true defintition of ski in, ski out. You can literally jump off your balcony onto the runs. It also adds some urban jib flavour to the cat tracks, with plenty of rails jibs, wall rides and ledges" continued Kimura.
