I am considering moving to Kelowna and want to get a local perspective on the skiing scene. Overall how is the riding at Big White, what type of terrain, hows is the park, is there a good group of people to ride with and finally whats the cost like? If you can help me out with any of these your awesome.

Great place to work on your tricks. Limited big mountian terrain. Not too crowded on weekends.

I just moved to kelowna a few months back....big white has some fun things too ski. the park is ok, but i dont ski much park. there isnt much steep terrain however, the light powder deffinetly makes up for it.

i just skied silver star for the first time last weekend and i think i liked it more then big white. silver star is only about half an hour farther from kelowna then big white is.
