Big White’s 22/23 Season by the Numbers.
While it’s hard to say goodbye to the ski season with an epic amount of snow (27 new centimetres last night!) still gracing the slopes, Big White Ski Resort is officially closed for the 2022/2023 season, and it’s time to start digging out for a summer full of biking, hiking, and music festivals!

Here at Big White Ski Resort, we care, more than anything else, about providing a top quality experience not only for our guests, but for those who make their home on the mountain – including our extensive clowder of Snowcats.

As the season comes to a close, celebrate the 2022/2023 season with your 100-Day pin! These pins are reserved for only the most avid skiers and snowboarders – those who have had their pass scanned at the gates at least 100 times since Opening Day!

On December 8, 60 years ago, 400 skiers traversed the one-way road up the mountain to the newly constructed resort – complete with a 1,700-metre T-bar and 150-metre tow rope. They paid around $4 for a ticket, ate a “light meal” from the cafeteria in the log-cabin style chalet – located about 150 metres straight uphill from where Monashee Inn is now – and likely had no idea what a ski helmet was.

On Wednesday, March 22, Big White Ski Resort hosted nearly 60 Ukrainian refugees of all ages at the Tube Park in Happy Valley for a free day of tubing, socializing and connecting.

On March 31 and April 1, Big White Ski Resort will play host to a variety of musicians, bands and DJs for Canada's Largest Mountain Music Festival - AltiTunes. This two-day outdoor concert will see thousands of music lovers coming up the mountain to dance, enjoy balmy weather, and maybe get in a lap or two on the snow.
