Snowball Effect | Luxury 4-Bedroom + Loft Ski-In/Ski-Out Chalet

Welcome to Snowball Effect, a custom-designed luxury chalet created for families and groups seeking exceptional mountain views, generous living spaces, and convenient access to the slopes. Set across four thoughtfully designed levels, the home features four bedrooms plus a spacious loft sleeping area, five bathrooms, and comfortable accommodation for up to 13 guests.

Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows showcase unobstructed views of the Monashee Mountains, while multiple living and entertainment areas give larger groups plenty of room to gather, relax, and enjoy time together. Direct ski access, a private hot tub, outdoor sauna, heated ski amenities, and premium finishes throughout make Snowball Effect an inviting home base for a memorable Big White vacation.

Panoramic Mountain Living

The open-concept main floor is the heart of Snowball Effect. Soaring windows fill the space with natural light and frame sweeping views across the surrounding mountains.

A distinctive central fireplace creates a warm focal point between the living and dining areas, while generous seating provides space for the entire group to gather after a day outdoors.

The layout flows naturally between the kitchen, dining area, living room, and wet bar, allowing guests to cook, dine, and relax together without feeling crowded.

Chef-Inspired Kitchen & Wet Bar

The spacious kitchen is exceptionally well equipped for group stays and includes premium appliances, two oversized islands with bar seating, a five-burner gas cooktop, wall oven with warming drawer, and a distinctive hammered-copper sink.

Generous preparation space and a wide selection of kitchen equipment make it easy to prepare everything from quick breakfasts before skiing to relaxed family dinners.

An adjoining wet bar with an ice maker and wine cooler provides a convenient place to prepare après-ski drinks while remaining connected to the main living area.

Expansive Deck, Private Hot Tub & Mountain Views

Step outside onto the spacious main deck to enjoy the fresh alpine air and panoramic Monashee Mountain views.

Prepare dinner on the BBQ, relax beneath the evening sky, or unwind in the private six-person hot tub after a day on the slopes. The deck extends the chalet’s main living area outdoors and provides a peaceful setting for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, and memorable evenings together.

Four Bedrooms Plus a Flexible Loft

Snowball Effect offers a versatile sleeping layout designed for families, couples, and larger groups.

The primary king suite provides a private mountain retreat with its own deck and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring heated marble floors, dual vanities, a deep soaker tub, and rainfall shower.

A second king bedroom includes a private ensuite, while the queen bedroom provides comfortable accommodation for another couple or adult family members.

The custom bunk room includes a queen-over-single bunk and a single-over-single bunk, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for children, teens, or family groups. Its private full bathroom adds convenience and privacy.

Upstairs, the spacious loft includes a king sofa bed, television, entertainment system, workstation, and a hidden fort-style nook for younger guests. This flexible area can serve as an additional sleeping space, family lounge, quiet workspace, or children’s retreat.

Lower-Level Lounge & Entertainment Space

The lower level provides a second comfortable gathering area away from the main great room.

A spacious lounge with a large television creates an inviting setting for movie nights, sporting events, gaming, or quieter evenings. The adjoining wet bar includes a refrigerator and dishwasher, making the space especially convenient for larger groups following different schedules.

Direct access from this level leads toward the ski route and dedicated equipment areas, allowing guests to return from the mountain without carrying gear through the main living spaces.

Private Outdoor Sauna

After a full day on the mountain, unwind in the private outdoor barrel sauna.

The sauna provides a peaceful place to relax and recharge before gathering for dinner or enjoying an evening in the hot tub. Together, the sauna and hot tub create an inviting private wellness experience within the comfort of the chalet.

Designed for Effortless Ski Days

Snowball Effect includes practical features designed to make winter stays easier and more comfortable.

Direct access to the nearby cat track connects guests conveniently to the mountain, while the dedicated ski area includes storage for skis and snowboards, built-in seating, and heated boot and glove dryers to keep equipment organized and ready for the next day.

The heated garage provides secure parking, additional equipment storage, and another convenient access point for winter gear. Multiple parking spaces accommodate larger groups travelling with more than one vehicle.

Thoughtful Technology & Added Convenience

Modern features throughout the chalet add convenience without taking away from its warm mountain character.

Electronic blinds make it easy to manage privacy and natural light, while high-speed internet and several entertainment areas allow guests to remain connected throughout their stay.

An EV charger is available for guests travelling with an electric vehicle.

Why Guests Love Snowball Effect

Snowball Effect combines dramatic mountain architecture, panoramic views, family-friendly amenities, and convenient ski access in a layout designed for larger groups.

The expansive main floor provides an impressive place for everyone to gather, while the loft, lower lounge, four bedrooms, and multiple outdoor spaces allow guests to enjoy privacy and flexibility when needed.

Families appreciate the custom bunk room, hidden loft fort, multiple televisions, and separate entertainment areas. Adults can enjoy the chef-inspired kitchen, wet bars, mountain-view hot tub, outdoor sauna, and comfortable gathering spaces throughout the chalet.

Whether sharing dinner beside the fireplace, relaxing in the hot tub, enjoying a movie downstairs, or heading directly out for another day on the slopes, Snowball Effect provides a welcoming setting for memorable time together at Big White.

Thoughtfully Stocked for Your Stay

Snowball Effect is thoughtfully equipped with fresh linens and bedding, towels for every guest, hand soap, body wash, shampoo, hair dryers, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher tablets, dish soap, and a selection of common spices, salt, and pepper.

Snowball Effect is professionally managed by Luxury Mountain Vacation Rentals, with an experienced team based at Big White Ski Resort. Our on-mountain presence provides guests with convenient access to local knowledge, responsive support, and personalized assistance throughout their stay.

Experience Big White’s famous Okanagan Champagne Powder while enjoying the panoramic views, exceptional comfort, private hot tub, outdoor sauna, and convenient ski access of Snowball Effect.

We had the best stay at Snowball Effect. The location is perfect to get us anywhere we wanted to go from skiing to Big White family activities at Happy Valley and Carnival at the main lodge. The house is beautiful, comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed and more.
