Transportation To Big White, Canada's Top Family Ski Resort
Sitting 56 km southeast of Kelowna, the mountain’s summit reaches over 2,300 meters, offering a generous vertical and varied terrain that suits skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. Offering light, dry powder, Big White Mountain receives abundant snowfall each season, creating soft, forgiving conditions that draw families, powder hunters, and weekend visitors alike!
The resort’s compact ski-in / ski-out village is one of its most distinctive features. Accommodations, rentals, dining, and retail are all located close to the lifts, making transitions from room to slope seamless and efficient. Beginner areas and ski schools are intentionally positioned near the village, which, combined with childcare and family-oriented activities, has cemented Big White’s reputation as an excellent choice for families and beginners.
Skiable options at Big White are extensive with high alpine bowls, gladed tree runs and loads of impressive terrain, giving experienced riders opportunities to explore beyond the groomers while still providing plenty of groomed runs for intermediates. The lift network mixes high-speed chairs with surface lifts and conveyors that serve terrain parks and learning zones.
Beyond downhill skiing, Big White offers a variety of winter pursuits including snowshoeing, tubing, snowmobiling, skating, and horse-drawn sleigh rides! The resort's proximity to Kelowna International Airport (YLW) makes it relatively easy to reach compared with more remote destinations, though winter driving conditions require preparation.
Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a powder weekend, or a relaxed ski holiday, Big White’s combination of dependable snow, a walkable village, and diverse terrain makes it a compelling choice for winter travelers.
