At Big White Ski Resort, sustainability is more than a commitment—it’s a way of life.

In celebration of the 44th annual BC Rivers Day, Big White Ski Resort is proud to announce a $2,000 donation to the Okanagan Forest Task Force (OFTF), a volunteer-run nonprofit organization dedicated to combating illegal dumping and restoring the natural beauty of local forests, recreational areas, and waterways.

As we honour Earth Day, Big White Ski Resort is proud to spotlight our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship under this year's theme, "Planet vs. Plastics."

Kelowna, BC: Big White Ski Resort, in collaboration with FortisBC Inc. (FortisBC) and GreenStep Solutions Inc. (GreenStep), has launched the Big White Community Energy Conservation Engagement Program.

Big White Ski Resort is home to some of the cleanest and freshest water in the entire world, and we need your help to ensure it stays that way!

Who doesn’t love a stroll through the forest? Hearing the birds chirp, watching the squirrels jump between trees, feeling the breeze as it whistles through the leaves. Now, imagine, during that stroll, instead of stumbling across a patch of wildflowers, you stumble into a pile of trash. 

Whether you’re looking to start your day with a hot coffee and pastry, to refuel with a burger and fries, or to treat yourself to a gourmet meal after a long day on the slopes, Big White Ski Resort has it all. And you can fill your tummies knowing Big White’s Food and Beverage Department is not just serving up delicious food, but doing so in an environmentally sustainable way.

Looking for a luxurious and convenient stay at Big White Ski Resort, but don’t want the environmental toll that often comes with it? Look no further than Crescendo – a 5,200 square foot chalet, which comfortably sleeps up to 22 people, located at the corner of Hummingbird Run and Gondola Way.

Luxury Mountain Vacation Rentals is another locally owned business on the mountain leading the way in reducing environmental impact at its properties. 

At Big White Ski Resort, we love Mother Nature. She’s responsible for our blanket of Okanagan Champagne Powder in the winter and for the fields of wildflowers in the summer – and, of course, the spectacular views of the Monashee and Selkirk Mountain ranges.
