Vacation Rentals in Big White, BC: Book Direct with the Host

Big White Ski Resort sits high in the Monashee Mountains about an hour southeast of Kelowna, a self-contained alpine village built around the base of the ski runs. Because the resort is designed so that trails feed right into the village, the great majority of lodging is genuinely ski-in/ski-out, and everything from shops to restaurants clusters within the compact centre. The elevation brings famously dry interior powder and the frost-covered evergreens known locally as snow ghosts. Being a stand-alone resort, Big White is largely a winter destination, with limited services outside the ski season, and the city of Kelowna provides the nearest full amenities down the mountain. Most rentals put you a short walk or ski from a lift.

Big White is built for winter: ski and ride its wide, high-elevation terrain and glades, with runs for every ability and reliable dry snow. Beyond the lifts there is tubing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, and even an ice-climbing tower, making it a strong family and beginner destination. The ski-in/ski-out village means you can step from your door to the snow and back for lunch with ease. Evenings bring village dining and family activities. Because it is a stand-alone alpine resort, most visitors come for the ski season; those wanting summer hiking and the lake will find that down in the Kelowna area.
