Replying to Big white grad trip

there's over 1000 kids coming from the lower mainland that are dropping into Kelowna and skiing at big white jan 24- feb 1. I'm on the trip, and i was just wondering what the base was like there from an honest perspective. is it safe to bring new pow skis? i've skied there before and it was super dope, but i can imagine there needing to be a pretty big base to cover the undergrowth. And if a fellow ns'er is skiing that weekend message me. i'll probs be skiing with one or two homies, but it'd be sick to ski with someone who knows the mountain. peace.
