Last Updated: June 2026
If January is all about fresh starts, February at Big White is when the mountain truly hits its stride. The snowpack is deep, the champagne powder is plentiful, and the days are just a touch longer — giving you more time to chase those perfect turns and soak up the alpine sunshine.
There’s something special about being here this time of year – the mountain feels alive. Whether you’re an adventure seeker, a foodie, or a family looking for that mid-winter escape, February delivers Big White at its very best.
The Snow You Dream About
February sits right in the heart of powder season at Big White, with strong mid-season snowfall and the light, dry “champagne powder” conditions the resort is known for.
Big White averages about 750 cm (25 ft) of annual snowfall, with February and March both delivering strong mid-season totals.
By February, every lift, bowl, and glade is open — from the cruisy blues off the Ridge Rocket to the legendary tree runs under the Powder Chair. Even the mogul lovers are in their element on runs like Dragon’s Tongue and Goat’s Kick.
And because it’s mid-season, the grooming is perfection. You’ll wake up to endless corduroy mornings, perfect for families and intermediates, with deep, untouched snow still waiting in the trees for the more adventurous.
Bluebird Days & Après Nights
By February, the weather at Big White starts to balance beautifully — cold enough for dry snow, yet with bursts of blue-sky sunshine that light up the mountain. You’ll find locals sipping coffees in the Village, kids skating on the outdoor rink, and couples watching the sun dip behind snow ghosts before settling into après.
After the lifts close, the mountain doesn’t slow down. Happy Valley comes alive with live music, the Twinkling Trail, tubing, and the always-popular Saturday night fireworks. Warm up with mulled wine at the Moose Lounge, or enjoy an elevated dining experience at the Kettle Valley Steakhouse.
February is for Families
Families can make the most of Big White’s Kids’ Centre and Tot Town Daycare, giving parents a little flexibility while younger guests enjoy age-appropriate fun and supervision.
And when everyone’s ready for family time again? Head to the Adventure Park for tubing and skating, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride, or grab popcorn and cotton candy at the weekly Carnival Night in the Village.
Couples, Friends & Foodies Welcome
Not traveling with kids? February has something for everyone.
Couples can enjoy quiet, romantic mornings on the slopes followed by wine and fondue at the BullWheel or a candlelit dinner at Kettle Valley Steakhouse. Friends’ trips are all about first tracks and après laughs — whether that’s catching a live band in Happy Valley or relaxing in your LMVR private hot tub while snowflakes drift down around you.
