Ski lifts/​ropeways Big White

The eight-person gondola Lara's Gondola connects Happy Valley with the Village Centre. Within the ski area itself, there are several four-person chairlifts and a six-person chairlift. As a result, waiting times at Big White are rare. Three double chairlifts and a drag lift to the summit complete the offerings. In Happy Valley, there are also two conveyor belts. The tubing area is served by two rope tows.
