Want some special winter experiences? Try out the Big White terrain park with tube-shoots for a thrill or just watch the action, enjoy a magical horse drawn carriage rides to dinner, snowshoeing just to get the hang of a former tradition that gets you close to nature, snowmobiling, or why not go for a dog sled ride that whisks you through the back trails laden with snow.

Access to the mountain is simple, direct routes by road out of Kelowna and The Big White Gameboy shuttles run from the Kelowna Airport (December 20 - January 5), which offers flights from various regions of Canada and some USA cities.
