Snowshoeing
Enjoy Big White’s back country in style on a guided snowshoe tour! We offer a variety of options for everyone from early-rising fitness fans to night owls wanting to experience Big White by moonlight. Our special Adventure Tour gives the whole family the chance to enjoy something different together this winter, and our Interpretive Tour allows you to learn more about our beautiful Okanagan surroundings and maybe even spot some wildlife! Bring your own snowshoes or rent them for just $6 extra (when booking a tour). Tours run daily except where stated and meet at the Ski and Board School Meeting Place opposite the VCM. Dress in layers and wear snowboots or other warm, waterproof footwear.
Sunrise Fitness Snowshoe (Ages 13+)
Perfect for early rising fitness fanatics! See the sun rise over the beautiful Monashee mountains and get in shape at the same time!

Prepare to see a spectacular side of Big White most people never get to experience!
