Resort Info:  

Big White's moderate base elevation (1,755m/5,758ft) contributes to comfortable winter temperatures that average -5°C/23°F.  While many of the 118 marked runs on the mostly south-facing slopes are blue and green, there's no shortage of black diamond action and double black diamond adventure in the high powder bowls. Big White also provides an unusual amount of glade skiing, with almost no place on the mountain where it isn't possible to ski among the trees – a special treat when snow ghosts populate the high slopes. Ski Canada has repeatedly recognized this feature with awards for "Best Tree Skiing" and "Best Glade Skiing."

Inn At Big White: Situated in the heart of the village center, the Inn at Big White features excellent resort amenity access. Built in 1997 and set amidst the spectacular Monashee Mountains, this 100-unit property offers a relaxing, small town atmosphere. After a hard day on the slopes, skiers and boarders love to relax and enjoy the breath taking views in the outdoor pool.

Room & Suite Amenities at the Inn at Big White: All 100 units at the Inn at Big White has its own Galley Kitchen which includes an induction cooker, mini-refrigerator, microwave and sink. Dishes, cookware and utensils are included.

Resort Amenities: The Inn at Big White provides a ski in and ski out environment, locker Room with Ski-Key Racks, communal laundry, conference facilities, fitness facilities, a dedicated on-site restaurant, and underground parking. Daily housekeeping service is provided and linen change every 3-5 days, depending on length of stay. The Inn at Big White also provides a common games room with free nightly kids events. Guests can also enjoy a common outdoor hot tub and swimming pool.

Resort Bars and Restaurants: Adjacent to the lobby is The Blarney Stone Irish Tavern, enjoy their tasty home-cooked Irish and English fare for breakfast, lunch & dinner, with a pint of fine Irish Ale, or try their wide selection of Irish and Scottish Whiskies and a good dose of good ol' Irish hospitality.
