 Local Tips

 About Us

Thanks for visiting our web site! We are Janine and Heinz. We live in San Francisco Bay area, California. We have traveled a lot around the world, but we all fell in love with Big White and the Okanagan Valley and could not wait to make it our 2nd home. Although we travel a lot around the world and have been to many ski resorts around the world as well, we completely fell in love with Big White. This resort represents everything that is beautiful and special about British Columbia, right down to the wonderful people who live and work there, the post and beam vaulted ceiling construction,the breathtaking unobstructed views, and the peace and privacy and of course hot tub! Big White is becoming our second home. We bought our dream house here early this year and our kids cannot wait to return to the ski school for their next level training. We have had so many happy memories in this wonderful house already! Big White's charm is that it is still a hip and very cool, down to earth ski town. These towns are rapidly disappearing in BC. This resort is for people who love the outdoors and who love to ski in light, beautiful, champagne powder! It is not yet commercialized, which explains why you can still see moose and deer along the road, and grizzlies still roam on the Gem Lake side of the mountain! The only problem is that you will have a hard time leaving the chalet, because it is so comfortable, spacious, warm and friendly! Thanks again for visiting our site and for considering our home for your BC vacation!
