There are many great areas of Big White, all boasting their own great features, so it really depends on your group composition as to where is best to stay. Here is a breakdown of the different areas:
Feathertop Estates
Feathertop Estates is the premium location on the mountain, with chalets that are built to impress. This area is away from the bustle of the Village Center and Happy Valley, but has unbeatable ski-in/ski-out access that provides direct access to Black Forest or the Bullet chairlifts, ski access directly to Happy Valley, and is within easy walking distance of the Village center. Browse our selection of chalets in Feathertop Estates here.
Village Centre
This is a great area to stay as it provides direct, easy access to all the main restaurants and bars on the mountain, the shops, and the tickets/rental facilities in the Village Center Mall. The Village Centre also has great ski-in/ski-out access. Most of the family-friendly activities are located down in Happy Valley, which can be accessed from the Village via the Gondola, or via a short walk on Happy Valley Way.

Upper Village
The Aspens is a great place to stay if ski-in/ski-out is your priority, as the condo buildings back directly onto the Highway 33 ski run, and the townhomes are a 30 second walk away from the run. Ski-out provides easy access to the Village center (and in turn Ridge Rocket, Snowghost and Plaza chairlifts) as well as the Bullet Express, Black Forest & Telus Park chairlifts.

Lower Village
This area also boasts incredible ski-in/ski-out access, and is conveniently only a short stroll from the Village center, meaning accessing anywhere on the mountain is extremely convenient. Have a look at our homes in the lower village here.
White Forest
White Forest provides the perfect middle ground between staying in the village, which is the hub of the restaurants, bars and shops, and staying in Happy Valley, the hub of activities outside of skiing. Just a short walk from both, White Forest provides a tranquil area that is still not far from all the action, and has great ski-in/ski-out. Have a look at our homes in White Forest here.
Happy Valley
Happy Valley is the hub of activities on the mountain, with a whole host of exciting things to do outside of skiing. Here you can choose from ice-skating, tubing, dog sledding, horse sleigh rides, dinner and event in Happy Valley Day Lodge, and more. Happy Valley is home to lots of condos of varying sizes, and utilizing multiple condos in one building is a great way to keep a large party staying next to each other!

Snow Pines Estates
Snow Pines Estates is a great area to stay in if you want a more relaxed and quiet area to stay away from the busy Village center. The village is still easily accessible via the free shuttle bus or by walking the Snow Pines trail, meaning you’re never far from the action, and has ski-out access to the Ridge Rocket/Snowghost and Plaza chairlifts.
