"It’s homey, doesn’t have the big corporate feel, and we don’t have to wait for lifts," says Cathy Taylor, who has brought her family to the Australian-owned Big White for seven consecutive seasons. "It has an excellent ski school, a fun atmosphere, great night skiing, and it’s reasonably priced because of Canadian dollars," says Taylor. Plus, "You are never too far away from where your kids might be." Great for getting four to twelve-year-olds skiing and snowboarding, it features the largest mountain snow-tube park in North America and a 7,000 sq ft state-of-the-art supervised Kid’s Centre with a climbing wall, movies, and a staging area for kids’ lessons. There’s daycare for children 18-months to six-years-old, and a Kid’s Club for three- to 12 - year olds. The minimum age for ski school is four-years-old. This "ski in, ski out" resort has a variety of accommodation you can ski right up to, including condos. Visit www.bigwhite.com for packages.
