About Gregg Veinpel
My wife and I grew up in Mississauga a suberb of Toronto Canada. Ever since our first ski vacation in B.C. we have had an overwhelming desire to move closer to the mountains, so when the chance to relocate to Seattle for a job opportunity arose, we jumped at the opportunity. Within the first year we discovered the Okanagan and immediately fell in love. We started vacationing there so frequently that we eventually took the plunge and purchased our place at Big White. A world class ski hill 3 steps out our backdoor. It just doesn't get any better than this!!!
Gregg Veinpel purchased this townhome in 2006
Why Gregg Veinpel chose British Columbia
Simply put the snow and the people. There is nothing quite like floating down a ski hill in two feet of fresh light champagne powder. Add in the fact that the hospitality of the staff makes this big mountain feel like a small mountain resort. And when all this is literally three steps out your back door, purchasing became a very simple decision.
What makes this townhome unique
Aside from the quality of the unit and all of its' finishing three things set us apart from almost all other properties on the mountain. Our ski-in ski-out location is second to none. Trails down to the Show Ghost, Ridge Rocket and Plaza chair are three steps out our backdoor and you can ski to the foot of our driveway at the end of the day. Our location ensures that we will always have completely unobstructed spectacular views of the Monashee mountains. Our unit has a private heated garage complete with hooks, racks and benches which makes it a breeze to get out on the mountain in the morning.

Great condo with easy ski-in-ski-out
We stayed at this fantastic condo in March 2017. The condo has a great set up with plenty of space and everything you will need for your stay. It was clean, comfortable, well maintained, and very well equipped. The owner was great to deal with and the ski in ski out couldn't have been easier. We would definitely recommend this condo!
Super place to stay in at Big White
Great location! We really enjoyed the private hot tub! Very well equipped kitchen. Although the coffee machine did not work properly and we found the christmas decor very dusty....
Beautiful place, Well Equiped and great owners
It has been years since I have stayed up at Big White for a weekend. So it was awesome that we found a place that was so great. My wife and 2 kids came up to stay along with my brother for 3 nights. This condo is very well equipped for cooking, there is tons of space, it would be easy ski in and out if you weren't taking a 2 year old and 4 year old along. Upon arrival we got 2 free bottles wine, (which promptly disappeared :) The owners also called us directly to make sure everything was ok, which it 100% was.
There are 2 master bedrooms upstairs, which would be perfect for 2 couples, and then another bedroom downstairs with bunks which would be perfect for kids.
The owners were great and always got back to us right away. They helped us track down a necklace that my wife left that meant a lot to her. We will definitely be staying there again in the future.

Thanks Gregg,
Only way it cud have been better is if you WOULD HAVE come back and skied WITH us.
Exactly as described, One note re: ski out, If you are on a Board the option of riding down to Laras Gondola to start your day is a little easier. We liked that start anyway as we were skiing the Black Forest chair early due to fog.
Snowed every day and conditions were Awesome.
Although some fog on first 2 days but Forest and Bullet chairs VERY Skiable in the fog. Even tho the vast majority were riding there we never had a lineup over 4 minutes the whole trip. GOOD Work Big White. (YAY mid-week skiing on non school holidays).
Condo is Beautiful and very comfortable due to tremendous heating options and Large Hot Tub. Extremely well appointed Kitchen. We ate (and drank) like kings, Thanks to previous users (that would be You) for leaving behind some treats. We did the same.
Also appreciate the info package, we agree with all your food and beverage tips but nice to have the info. Would be VERY helpful for a first time visitor.
One tip I wud give others is if you like to cook bring your Entrees with you. There is a Costco in Kelowna right on the way to the hill.
There is a Market on the hill but of course it is limited. One of the better on hill markets we have seen tho.
Now if you could arrange to have snow at night and sunshine daily we wud Award you a Huge ATTABOY !! (-8
All in All great week!!!
As to recommendations It would suit anybody that appreciates quality and Enjoys treating peoples property with respect!!
Big White Sweetness
Great location and good for kids. Had a great time there and the owners were very responsive.
LOVED IT!
A huge thank you to Gregg & Lisa for sharing their gorgeous home. We stayed for 2 weeks (from Australia) and loved every minute of it! The location is perfect and the home was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The photos don't do it justice....just beautiful! And the Christmas decoration added to the ambience. Thanks again. We absolutely loved it! highly recommended...
