Masters' Week
Back for its 6th consecutive year, our incredibly popular Masters’ Week has now been extended to three weeks during the season. Designed specifically for passionate skiers aged 50+, this week-long program combines the best skiing 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 6th 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!
