New owners of Snowshoe Sam’s at Big White

Sam’s is a staple at Big White. Loved by locals and lauded by visitors. There will be even more to love as the local Nixon Hospitality Group recently announced that they had purchased the pub. This is the same group behind Kelowna’s favourite BNA pub and other downtown establishments. We’re excited to see the vision for this well-loved local pub.

And a New, but familiar owner of the Globe Tapas

Locally renowned Chef Ross Derrick has taken over ownership of the Globe! This favourite dining option in the Village Center is a go-to for locals and visitors! Fun fact – Ross was the original chef when the Globe first opened – what a great story!

More food and beverage changes

Even more positive changes for food and beverage options with the operation of  The Woods, Clocktower Coffee Co., Blackforest Day Lodge, Moonlight Bistro, and Happy Valley Day Lodge coming back under the umbrella of Big White.  Previously operated by Compass Group for one season Big White is happy to announce the return of the Food & Beverage Department to a self-managed model!

The post Updates for the 22-23 Ski Season at Big White! appeared first on ANDREW BRAFF - RE/MAX Kelowna/Big White Ski Resort.

In the blink of an eye, the ’21-’22 ski season at Big White Ski Resort has come to a close. Last weekend saw the grand finale for the season with the last runs closing on April 10th. It was a great season in terms of snow, sales, and a glimmer of hope towards the end of the season with the lifting of pandemic restrictions. Undoubtedly, next season will be epic with a full restriction-free season on the horizon for ’22-’23.

Real estate prices and sales were bigger than ever this season. The spring and summer are not showing any signs of slowing down. As more restrictions lift across the globe and people search for outdoor activity destinations Big White remains a clear frontrunner. Especially with summer events that the resort has in store for downhill biking. If you’ve been holding on to a condo or property at Big White then now might be the time to sell. We continue to have more demand than inventory, and the recent selling prices are a strong indication that it remains a seller’s market.
