 About Us

Hello from Dianne and James, and our three children. We have looked at many resorts around the world, but nothing compares to the joy of ski-ing at Big White, it is everything we dreamed of. The mild temperatures, the gorgeous powder snow, and the variety of terrain, along with the breathtaking views that British Columbia is famous for, makes it the best place we have ever skiied. What's more, there are very rarely any lift queues. Big White also has fabulous restaurants and bars, ice-skating, tubing, sleigh rides ski-mobile, and many other activities. Thank you for viewing our home. Arctic Fox is very special to us, and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.
