“Loved the mid-mountain aspect, you cannot beat strapping on your skis and skiing down to a lift. Lots of blue cruiser runs and a vibrant night life make Big White one of my favourite resorts. It is also a great resort for families and my kids would love the Happy Valley area with the tubing and ice skating. A must do (for the adults) when in Big White is to experience the Gunbarrel coffee at Snowshoe Sam’s. The most elaborate coffee you will ever have but absolutely delicious.”
