Big Fun in Big White...

After nearly 30 hours of travelling, we arrived in Big White to the smiles of the young Australians working in Central Reservations. The process of checking into our apartment was hassle-free and fast.
Our apartment was comfortable and we hit the beds for some much needed sleep. Opening the curtains in the morning revealed a perfect sunny day and that we were right in the heart of the Village with the Plaza Chair just steps away!
We began our week with a free tour of the mountain provided by the Big White Snow Hosts - an invaluable experience I highly recommend. After this, we were off to discover it for ourselves.
We spent the rest of the week indulging in tree skiing through the powder, fast cruising on the impeccably groomed blue runs (don’t miss “Cruz The Blues”) and taking Lara’s Gondola down to Happy Valley for après ski, snow tubing, ice skating and chilling out.
The snow falls in abundance and we never encountered a crowd, even though we were there over Christmas/New Year.
It’s a perfect place for a ski holiday and oh so family friendly.
Easy to reach and well worth a visit. You won’t be disappointed!
