Patio Season is Upon Us! Our Top Spots for Soaking Up Vitamin D at Big White

Posted On: March 18, 2024 |
It’s nearly skiing-in-your-sweater, cold-beer-to-cool-down weather at Big White Ski Resort. To get you as excited about the longer days as we are, we’ve compiled a list of the best patios to relax, imbibe and perfect your goggle tan this spring!

The Woods
Smack-dab in the middle of the Village, The Woods’ outdoor beer garden is the place to go to cool down after a day skiing in the sun with a frothy, ice-cold sleeve of craft brew. Pair that sunshine and beer with a delicious burger, and you’ve got yourself the perfect après afternoon.

Fourth Ace Bar and Smokehouse
Located slope-side on Perfection Run, ski right onto the massive deck at Fourth Ace Fourth Ace and enjoy a pint of Fourth Ace Lager or try one of their slow-cooked briskets! Watch skiers and snowboarders zip by on their last runs of the day, then soak in the last rays of sun as it sets over the Monashee Mountains.

The Bullwheel Family Gastro Pub
Looking for views anytime of the day? The Bullwheel Gastro Pub, located in the White Crystal Inn and right next to Lara’s Gondola, will take your breath away, morning, noon and night! The lively atmosphere, kid-friendly menu, and multiple happy hours throughout the day make for an epic patio sesh with family or friends!

Cantina del Centro
One of Kelowna’s favourite Mexican restaurants has its newest location up at Big White Ski Resort. Come in to try their delicious tequila and tacos, but stay for their scenic views and good times. This vibrant atmosphere and friendly service ensures good memories.

The Vista at Blackforest Day Lodge
Maybe not your typical “patio,” the outdoor space at the Blackforest Day Lodge is the perfect place to take a pitstop mid-day. Grab a beer, something to mow down on, and give those ski legs a break.

Got a Patio/Deck at Your Home-Away-From-Home?
There’s no place like home (away-from-home)! Stock up your hotel room, condo or townhouse with locally crafted beer, wine and spirits at The Market in the bottom level of Village Centre Mall, then put on a pair of pjs, and enjoy patio views in the comfort of your own space.
