Big White

Ski-In, Ski-Out Real Estate an Hour from Kelowna

Big White Ski Resort is Kelowna's mountain retreat, just under an hour from the city and consistently ranked among Canada's top family ski resorts. With over 118 marked runs, one of the largest night-skiing areas in North America, and a true ski-in, ski-out village at its base, Big White has grown into a genuine four-season community, not just a weekend destination. For buyers, that means real, livable real estate: condos, chalets, and townhomes across a handful of distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own character, price point, and proximity to the lifts. Whether you're looking for a rental-ready investment property, a family gathering place, or a full-time mountain home, Big White offers an entry point into Okanagan resort living that's still more accessible than comparable resorts further south.

Village Centre

Village Centre is the heart of Big White — a true ski-in, ski-out neighbourhood where you can step out your door and onto the slopes. This is where the resort's restaurants, shops, apres-ski spots, and the Village Centre Chair all converge, making it the most walkable and amenity-rich part of the mountain. Condos and residences here range from cozy studios to larger multi-bedroom units, most within a few minutes' walk of the lifts. Village Centre properties are consistently the strongest performers for short-term rental income, given their unmatched convenience for vacationing skiers and boarders.

Feathertop and Sundance Resort at Big White

Feathertop & Sundance Resort

Feathertop and the adjacent Sundance Resort sit just above the Village Centre, offering a quieter, more residential feel while remaining an easy ski-out to the main lift network. This area is known for larger chalets and townhome-style properties, popular with families who want more space and a bit of separation from the busiest part of the village without sacrificing convenience. Sundance in particular has its own dedicated chairlift, giving residents quick access to a wider run selection right from their front door.

Happy Valley

Happy Valley is Big White's family-oriented hub, home to the tubing park, terrain garden, and some of the resort's gentlest beginner runs. It's a natural fit for buyers looking for a mountain property that works for young kids and multi-generational groups, with a mix of condos and chalets priced a step below the ski-in, ski-out core. Happy Valley's central location keeps it within easy reach of the Village Centre while offering a slightly more laid-back, neighbourhood atmosphere.

Black Forest

Black Forest is one of Big White's more established residential neighbourhoods, tucked among the trees with a mix of single-family chalets and duplexes on larger lots than you'll typically find closer to the village core. It suits buyers who want a genuine mountain-home feel, more privacy, and often a better price per square foot, while still being a short ski or shuttle ride from the lifts. Black Forest has long been a favourite for owners planning to use their property as a true second home rather than a pure rental investment.

Snow Pine Estates

Snow Pine Estates offers some of Big White's most spacious single-family homes, appealing to buyers who want a full-sized mountain residence rather than a condo or townhome. Lots here tend to be larger, with more architectural variety and room for the kind of custom builds you don't often see in resort real estate. It's a strong fit for families or groups planning to spend extended time on the mountain each season, valuing space and privacy alongside proximity to the slopes.
