Curious about why? Read on to find out more about why you should visit Big White Ski Resort in February and March.
“It’s The Snow!”: Champagne Powder Snow
“It’s The Snow!” Is the motto at Big White for a reason. Big White Ski Resort has many features that make it one of Canada’s top ski resorts in the country – but it’s the champagne powder snow that makes it truly stand out from the rest.
Because of the Okanagan Valley’s climate, where Big White Ski Resort calls home, the mountain receives some of the highest quality of snow for skiing or snowboarding. The climate provides light, dry and airy ‘champagne powder’ snow that’s perfect for skiing. This fluffy snow is sought after by many passionate skiers. Because of its drier, airy texture, champagne powder snow lets you feel like you’re floating on top of the snow. It also means that you’ll be less likely to catch hard spots as you ski, and you can ski down the mountain trails at a faster and smoother rate.
Known for this quality worldwide, Big White Ski Resort’s snow is one of the main reasons why it’s the ideal spot for skiing and snowboarding. And to make sure that you can take advantage of this high-quality, champagne snow, the best time to go is in February and March.
Excellent Snow Conditions and Weather in February and March
Along with its champagne powder snow, Big White Ski Resort has some of the best snow and weather conditions for skiing and snowboarding. As cited by Big White themselves, the mountain boasts over 7.5 meters (24.5 feet) of annual snowfall, and because of the Okanagan’s drier climate, you can expect wonderfully fluffy champagne powder snow. And while December and January make for excellent months for a holiday trip, some of the best times to go skiing at Big White are actually in February and March.
For the Okanagan region, February and March are known as some of the drier winter months for the area. So while there is still plenty of champagne powder snow to go around, it also means that there will be more clear, sunny days to ski and snowboard than in December and January. You can better enjoy the stunning views and world-class trails with the snow and weather conditions in February and March.
If you’re looking for fluffy snow and ‘bluebird’ days to enjoy your ski vacation with, then February and March are the best months to go. Curious about the current weather on the mountain? Take a look at the weather forecast for Big White Ski Resort.
