"Big White spun its first chairs of the season at 8:45 a.m. on December 4 with 19 runs available, served by the Ridge Rocket Express, Bullet Express Quad, Plaza Chair, and the village gondola. Five centimetres of overnight snow pushed the alpine base to 73 centimetres, or 29 inches, giving opening day skiers and riders a softer surface on groomed runs. A group of guests camped out and lined up by 8 a.m. on December 3 to secure first chair ahead of the official launch."
"The Black Forest Express is expected to open on Friday as conditions allow, expanding the resort's accessible terrain beyond the initial lift pod. Parking for opening week is available at Ridge, Black Forest, and Happy Valley, giving day visitors multiple base-area options. Early season hazards remain on the hill, and ski patrol is urging guests to stay on designated open runs, respect all closures, and watch for unmarked obstacles."
Big White Ski Resort opened its 2025-26 winter season on December 4 with limited terrain but improving coverage and more lifts expected as storms move through the region. Nineteen runs opened, served by Ridge Rocket Express, Bullet Express Quad, Plaza Chair, and the village gondola. Overnight snowfall of five centimetres raised the alpine base to 73 centimetres (29 inches), softening groomed runs. Parking for opening week is available at Ridge, Black Forest, and Happy Valley. Ski patrol warns of early-season hazards and enforces closures. All green runs are slow zones, uphill hiking is prohibited, the upper alpine remains closed, and passholders should verify pass status online. Big White is offering 50 percent off early-season lift tickets on December 4 and 5.
