Access, Parking Big White
The Big White ski resort is located in British Columbia, between Vancouver and Calgary. It is situated 56 kilometers from Kelowna, the largest city in the Okanagan Valley. Almost all travel to Big White goes via Kelowna. From there, a well-developed road leads to the ski resort. Approaching from the south (the US border), you can also reach Big White from Highway 3 and the town of Rock Creek. However, this road runs for over 100 kilometers through mountainous terrain and there are no gas stations. On weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), buses run directly from Kelowna to Big White.
