Masters' Week
Back for its fifth consecutive year, our incredibly popular Masters’ Week has now been extended to three weeks during the season. Designed specifically for passionate skiers and snowboarders aged 50+, this week-long program combines the best skiing and riding Big White has to offer with a series of exclusive après events including wine tastings, appies at our best local restaurants, evening sleigh rides through our magical, lantern-lit winter wonderland, and more.
Masters’ Week is an evolution from Big White Ski & Board School’s well-established Master’s Monday program that’s been running every week for many years. This is the fourth year the Big White Ski &Board School has offered Masters’ Week, with three separate week long sessions due to popular demand.
Meet like-minded snowsports enthusiasts, try local delicacies at the famous Kettle Valley Steakhouse, learn what true ski-in-ski-out really means, and experience our legendary Okanagan Champagne Powder with some of the best ski instructors in BC. Come see what everyone is talking about!
