WELCOME TO BIG WHITE www.BigWhiteMtnInfo.com
Discover a true Canadian experience at Big White Ski Resort. Located in the picturesque Okanagan Valley, Big White is blessed with a mild sunny climate, champagne powder in the winter and endless activities – from skating on Canada's highest outdoor rink, scaling the 60 foot ice climbing tower, being pulled behind a traditional dog sled, racing down the tube park to a relaxing massage, hiking to the Summit, soaking in your condo's hot tub or shopping in the Village Centre Mall.
2
Come wintertime, It’s no wonder Big White’s motto is, "It's the Snow”, with an average snowfall of 750cm (24.5 feet) of champagne powder blanketing the 2,765 acres of skiable terrain each year. In fact, the snow is so impressive, Big White has been awarded with “The best place to go for quality snow” by Condé Nast the World’s premiere travel magazine.
Once the snow melts, the picturesque natural beauty just doesn’t stop. Hike the marked walking trail or take a scenic tour on the Bullet Chair and enjoy the mountain wild flowers and lush nature that surrounds you. You might even be surprised to learn that in winter months you’ve been skiing beside a lake! See pages 56 - 59 for some wonderful summer images and Big White’s Summer Hiking Trail map. To appease your appetite, head to one of the local restaurants, pubs or coffee shops, see pages 6 - 9. Big White’s variety of restaurants and lively pubs are stocked with the best of Okanagan wine and Canadian beer. Evening entertainment is endless; from being serenaded while fine dining, ordering the famous "Gunbarrel Coffee" or staying out late dancing.

PRE-PLANNING • TRANSPORTATION
TIPS FOR THE ROAD Big White Ski Resort is 56 km (35 miles) South East of Kelowna, the largest city in the Okanagan. From Kelowna, follow Highway 33 for 32 km (20 miles) until you reach Big White Road. Another 24 km (15 miles) and you will arrive in the main village. If you aren't comfortable driving in snow, see these ads for some great options! If you do plan to travel British Columbia roadways when wintry conditions are a possibility, you should carry chains or have snow tires. When you come to a posted sign on the highway stating “Winter Tires or Chains Are Required Beyond This Point”, you must be ready to install chains or have proper winter tread tires before proceeding.
www.BigWhiteMtnInfo.com
Speed limits are for dry conditions. Keep in mind that it can take about
12
three times as long, or as far, to stop on snow and ice than it does on dry pavement. Be extra cautious in danger zones: intersections, lane changes, turns and stops. In snow, tires barely grab the road, so accelerate, turn and stop gently. If ice and bare patches alternate, brake in the bare spots and coast over the ice. Apply that same rationale to bridges, which freeze before roadways, and try to reach “bridge speed” before you get there. Four-wheel-drive owners: even though your system is great for moving around in the snow, it doesn’t help you slow down! Word to the wise: slow down safely! A word about snowplow drivers. They’re up when you’re asleep, work in conditions you avoid in order to clear
your way to the slopes. So be kind, give the plow plenty of room and keep your beams low. Above all, be like a tortoise and practice patience.
For up-to-date highway conditions, please see the BC Hwy’s Ministry road report at www.drivebc.ca.

GETTING HERE IS EASY! SO NOW YOU’VE PLANNED YOUR VACATION! Your flight is booked, reservations are made and your lift tickets are bought.

From the airport, either rent a car and have the flexibility for day trips or if you aren't comfortable driving in snow, take a taxi, pre-book a shuttle or book a limousine and arrive in luxury. See pages 12-13 for some great options. Once you arrive at Big White, most everything is within walking distance. There's a lot to do to get ready for your trip to Big White Ski Resort and we want to make it easier for you.
