Opening Weekend Hours of Operation
The Okanagan Champagne Powder is calling, and we’re ready to kick off the 2026/2027 winter season!
Winter is back at Big White, and there’s no better way to celebrate Opening Day than together on the mountain! Join us at the top of the Ridge Rocket Express from 9:15 AM – 10:45 AM on November 26th for a morning of mountain vibes, good tunes, and plenty of excitement as we welcome another incredible winter season.
We’ll have music to get you in the spirit, Polaroid photos to capture those first-day memories, and lots of giveaways to get the season started on the right foot. Plus, our favourite furry friend, Loose Moose, will be making an appearance to welcome everyone back to the mountain!
And the fun doesn’t stop on Opening Day! Mark your calendars for November 28th and join us for our Welcome to Winter event. It’s another great excuse to get together, celebrate the season, and make the most of everything Big White has to offer.
First chair, fresh snow, and a whole lot of stoke. Let’s make it a season to remember!
