KIDS CENTRE
When all you want to do is get up on the mountain, don't worry about your kids. Why not drop them at a place where they'll have the time of their lives, and you can ski or board all day long worry free!
Ski Canada rates this centre as the “BEST RESORT FEATURE FOR KIDS IN CANADA” and the UK’s Daily Mail rated it one of the TOP FIVE IN THE WORLD! There are so many activites for the kids and lots of them are free!
When you walk into the Kids Centre you’re likely to ask, “What smells so darned good in here?” Well, that would be the on-site kitchen where their very own chef is hard at work. The instructors make the whole time such fun with lots of activities and fun along with great coaching on the slopes!
SUMMER FUN
Come along and experience the mountain peace. It’s beautifully cool with stunning views of the MONASHEE MOUNTAINS.
HIKE or HORSEBACK RIDE on a mountain trail and catch the fragrance of Ponderosa pines and see the many different WILDLIFE SPECIES which inhabit the area.
Or cycle along the Historic KETTLE VALLEY RAILWAY with views of the MYRA CANYON.
Get away from the crowds, but still be in easy reach of Canada’s FRUIT BASKET and the heart of the west’s WINE REGION – visit the OKANAGAN WINE FESTIVALS in July or hit the fairways with 19 courses to choose from, it’s a must-play destination on every golf enthusiast's list!
Vineyards, orchards, semi-desert terrain, rolling hills, and expansive lakes make the golf courses in the area some of the most picturesque in the country.
Kelowna is perfect for a wide variety of WATER SPORTS - including water-skiing, sail-boarding, scuba-diving and swimming on the magnificent lake.
The FINE SANDY BEACHES offer a great place to spend the day; all have picnic tables, shade trees and plenty of sunshine.
Kelowna’s many quality restaurants offer a variety of fine dining experiences.
Then it's only a short trip up the hill to relax in COOLER CLIMES and sleep with the restful MOUNTAIN ATMOSPHERE.

A Wonderful Place for a Ski Holiday with Family
A Wonderful Place for a Ski Holiday with Family

What a wonderful place to stay while having a ski holiday. Because of the three bedrooms and pull-out sofas, we were able to accommodate a total of 7 people without difficulty. The 'kids' bedroom was a 'hit' with our 8-year old granddaughter. She loved having her own space and has already told us she wants to go back next year. The 'boot drying rack' was a first for all of us and worked really well. The boots dried quickly in the evening and then were warmed-up in the morning before another day of skiing. The hot tub was well used after a long day on the hill. The support from the staff at Raven was excellent. They were most accommodating and were there quickly when we had a few minor glitches. Thank you for sharing your lovely condo with our family. As I think you can tell, we really enjoyed it.Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Nancy: I'm delighted you all had such a great time. The kid's bedroom is FUN and the HOT TUB and BOOT DRYERS have been a real hit with all our guests. Looking forward to hosting you again next year!!

The condo exceeded our expectations and would definitely stay here again. There was plenty of room for the five of us ( three adults, and two kids under 16 ) and the kitchen was fantastic. We picked up groceries in town on our way from the airport and it was great to have lunch and breakfast in the condo each day. Hot tub was great as well after skiing all day. Skiing in to the condo is possible but skiing out isn't as easy. There is some walking involved but really not that bad. As I noted above, I'd definitely stay here again.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Grant: So glad to hear that our place exceeded expectations. It is great to be so accessible to pop back for meals. Look forward to hosting you again!!

Great place! Great layout with lots of open space in the living room and kitchen. View from the hot tub was great! Easy to get in and out of for skiing. 3rd Bedroom had bunkbeds which were not great for adults but still workedRecommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Brian: I'm so glad you all enjoyed the place - particularly the ski access and hot tub views. It's always interesting scrambling up to a bunk bed the older we get (don't forget the two double sofa beds are another option next time) - hopefully folk enjoyed the fun atmosphere once up there!

We found this to be a perfect spot for our family. The skiers in the bunch had easy ski in/out access (including our 6 year old grandson) and non-skiers were 5 minutes from the Happy Valley gondola, skating rink, sleigh rides etc.. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub, with a great of the Saturday night fireworks. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Spacious and nicely furnished, it felt just like home. Neighbors were quiet. The owner was fantastic to deal with, accessible for questions and quick responses. The weather was fantastic, spring skiing in January. We would definitely make a return trip to this unit.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.
Owner response: Denise: I'm delighted that you all had a wonderful time and look forward to hosting you on another occasion!!

What a wonderful place to enjoy Christmas with the family. Big White has activities for everyone to enjoy. The accomodations were everything we had hoped for. This condo was very clean, well equipped with high-end kitchen accessories, heated floors, boot dryer (nice touch), and is conveniently located to Ski in/Ski out and walk to the outdoor ice skating. We lacked nothing at all. The private hot tub on the deck was especially enjoyable after a day on the slopes followed by a cozy evening watching a movie on Netflix. It was a true pleasure dealing with the owners and I look forward to renting again in the future. Thank you Annelise for helping us create a Christmas memory.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Darren: We're SO GLAD you had a wonderful time. Christmas memories are always special to CREATE AND CHERISH with your family! As an owner who's just taken over managing our place, I've enjoyed trying to ensure that all goes smoothly and am delighted that you loved it all. We love the LOCATION and HOT TUB and can't wait to try out the NEW BOOT DRYERS when we next come over!

Great Off Season Stay at Big White

My husband and I stayed here off season to visit some friends that live in Big White. The unit is beautiful and is great for a family or two. The open concept is perfect for enjoying a vacation while the bedrooms allow for a very comfortable environment if you just want to have some quiet time! We had a few questions and the on-site contact was extremely responsive and helpful, as was Annelise (the owner). Would love to stay here again in season!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks Gillian: I'm so glad that you enjoyed the stay. It's certainly a great place for out of season stays - WONDERFUL VIEWS and PEACEFUL, yet only 40 mins down the mountain into Kelowna with all that offers. Great to visit friends or bring them with you for a SPECIAL OCCASION or LARGE GET-TOGETHER! Looking forward to hosting you in the ski season too.

Compared to ski-ing in Europe it was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Such a friendly place, from the lifties to the ski guides. KIDS CLUB a combination of top quality childcare and expert ski instruction. Our 6 year old had the time of her life and the instructors were so keen for her to have fun - so sign of them being tired towards the end of the season! So many FREE ACTIVITIES in the afternoon/evenings - hot choc, carnivals, fireworks etc. And the TUBING was 'to die for' as a laugh for all the family. Very varied ski-ing and connected well with the lifts, lots of variety for different ability levels - our 13 yr old son could whizz in and out of the trees, jumping and showing off as his parents came down more sedately! Rarely had to queue for lifts and the slopes were wonderfully quiet, - though when in difficulty someone would always stop to help! We're just TAKING OVER THE MANAGEMENT this season and looking forward to helping others ENJOY THE PLACE AS MUCH AS WE DO!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: As a family, we love the amazing skiing, great kid's centre and all the luxury of such a wonderful place. With a 13 yr old son and 6 year old daughter, the resort is perfect for family ski-ing and entertainment with a wonderful condo to relax in.l
Why the Owner Chose Big White:
We chose Big White for all the advantages of a purpose built resort.
The whole experience is 'joined-up'!
From the amazingly EFFICIENT computer aided equipment hire to get you out there asap, to the EXTENSIVE and integrated variety of slopes. All of which are clearly marked as groomed or not for complete choice of snow experience.
The kids centre staff couldn't be more FRIENDLY and out to make the holiday a great time for children from the ski-ing in small appropriate groups to the craft activities and hot chocolate for a break in-between.
Every session there's a sense of progress as skills are mastered and ticked on each kid's Achievement Card. When completed they move onto the next level, but still within the larger group of friends made!
Leaving you free to enjoy the slopes with the FREE SKI GUIDING from friendly residents with useful tips on restaurants and places to go.
The lifties are so friendly and everyone's enjoying their time, it's a PERFECT HOLDAY!
My family laugh, but I love the FREE TISSUES so readily available at the bottom of every lift with bins beside, not to mention TOILETS on the slopes and day lodges with cafes where it's fine to eat your snacks and enjoy the FREE WATER!
BEATS ANY ALPINE RESORT we've tried!!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
We chose the location for its excellent views, proximity to ski lifts and amenities along with the convenient ski-in, ski-out access.
It had been spaciously designed with acute attention to detail, luxury and comfort.
With its own private deck and hot tub for star gazing and total relaxation after a day of ski and snow activity - WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR !!
