These trails feature some of North America’s newest and best lift access. Find yourself exploring 19 world class gravity fed trails and soak up the Okanagan sun while doing so.

Don’t have a bike or any gear? No problem, the Rental and Bike Service will get you all geared up and ready to ride!

Disc Golf

This new addition to the resort has been a big hit with locals and tourists alike. The 9 hold disc golf course was funded in part by the Big White Mountain Chamber of Commerce and the Big White Mountain Community Development Association. It’s conveniently located just below the skiers tunnel.

This activity is free for those who bring their own discs and rentals are available through the Rental Shop in the Village Centre Mall.

Hiking

A great way to explore the landscape minus the snow you are probably used to. Big White offers an incredible hiking experience with mountain wild flowers, bird watching, and phenomenal views.

There are many trails to choose from and you can even arrange a guided hike with a local host.

Events

With COVID-19 restrictions eased, there are many events that are happening on the mountain. Events like Music on the Mountain, BC Cup Downhill Provincial Championships, and Trek Dirt Series are all back. These events are a great way to take in the Big White summer experience.
