Big White Ski Resort is located in Kelowna, British Columbia, and operates as a year-round mountain destination offering curated outdoor experiences. The resort provides seasonal activities across winter and summer, including guided sleigh rides, dog sled tours, snowmobile outings, on-mountain services, and designated summer RV Overnight Parking for self-contained RVs and campers.
During winter months, Big White hosts multiple horse-drawn sleigh ride formats — 30-minute and one-hour public rides, private sleigh options, and an evening Dinner Sleigh Tour that combines a scenic sleigh ride with a family-style meal at a mountain cabin. Dog Sled Tours run approximately 1.5 hours and are led by Canadian sled dogs through backcountry terrain. Outback Snowmobile Tours offers one- and two-hour guided snowmobile options for different rider skill levels, available as single-driver or shared double rides.
On-site services include Dizzy's Bootfitting Services, where professional bootfitters use 3D scanning technology for personalized foot analysis and craft custom footbeds in-house. For entertainment off the mountain, the resort facilitates access to Kelowna Rockets hockey games with transportation and ticket arrangements. Big White's offerings are designed to accommodate families, couples, and outdoor enthusiasts, with emphasis on booked experiences, seasonal scheduling, and services that support comfort and performance in alpine conditions.
