 About Us

We are a family of five. We fell in love with Big White in the Christmas of 2003 and soon after became residents. Our family has skied together for in excess of 20 years. We hope that you enjoy our Dream Home and our approach to decorating. My wife and I cherish the time in Big White away from fax, e-mail, voicemail, and telephone to recharge our batteries, knowing if necessary all that is just a phone connection away. We enjoy the mountain biking, hiking and wineries of the spring, summer and fall. We enjoy the white boughs of the fir trees and the light powder of the winter as the mountain comes alive with activity. Whatever season you choose to visit, your body and mind will get a full workout and the chalet will be your respite from such vigour. Big White is to enjoy and explore. We do. Go ahead and try.
