Little Australia On Snow

Written by Sean a Skier from Sydney, Australia
14/4/2010

As well as having Australian owners, of the 2,000 staff, 1,600 are Kiwi or Australian which probably sums up Big White.

Suffering a bit from the US impact of the GFC, it is a little quiet, sometimes too much, but also is value for money. Its height guarantees great snow conditions when other resorts are struggling; the downside is that height comes with frequent zero visibility. Whilst definately a challenge not all is lost though, as with its wide spaced trees (a local phenomenon and not the result of a chainsaw) and a little local knowledge it is still possible to find runs that work on all but the worst days.

The beauty and challenge of ski-ing the snow ghosts is also unique to Big White. Big White, dependant on visibility ranges from wide, empty runs to gladed powder. It is not quite the powder ski of Vail, but definately not the carver of New Zealand and what sums up Big white would be an all round mountain ski.

Sun Peaks for 9 Days in Feb

Written by Sean a Skier from Sydney
31/3/2010

We arrived at Coast Sundance Lodge in the afternoon, having spent the past 5 days in Big White (we had a wonderful time there). First impression of the room was a little dissappointing, but location location, the Lodge itself was great. The Bottom''s Bar attached to the Lodge was also dissappointing from a family perspective, more suited to the younger crowd. Masa''s was much more friendly relaxed & far better service.

The snow & the mountain(s) were to us great, in an average season to the locals. Minimal crowds in a busy period & the runs were great. The Snow host are very good if you are new to the hill & show you places that you may not of ventured to. Kids ski school good, our 7yr old enjoyed herself, plus lots of other non-skiing activities.

Overall a great trip & would recommend Sun Peaks & Coast Sundance to any family.
