Snowcat for TELUS Park

Big White's TELUS Park - named one of the best terrain parks in North America by USA Today - is set to become even better over the 16/17 season with the purchase of a brand-new Kässbohrer Park Plus Snowcat. This Snowcat is specifically designed for grooming in the terrain park, with extra lift on the tiller and extra functionality on the blade making it ideal for building jumps and features in the terrain park. The resort now has a total of eight frontline Snowcats working across the mountain.

Big White's Award Winning Kids' Centre Expands

Plans are underway to expand our award-winning Kids' Centre into the area that was formally the Loose Moose Emporium. This addition will provide our youngest skiers aged 3-4 with much-needed room to play and prepare for the start of lessons. Children 5-7 years of age will also now have their own area in the Kids' Centre. Traffic flow will be greatly enhanced, allowing for new exits onto the snow for children in lessons and less congestion for parents when registering their children.
