The folks at Big White are very happy with the start of the season.
Senior Vice-President at the resort, Michael J Ballingall says the 59 centimetres that have fallen in the past week are unprecedented. Ballingall says the staff member that's been doing the daily measurements for twenty-plus years told him it's, " the most snow we've ever received between opening day and the first weekend."
This weekend comes with more than just good snow conditions.
Tonight, Big White is showing the movie Frozen on a giant inflatable screen in the Happy Valley carpark as a drive in theatre and Saturday the village will have its' 10,000 Christmas lights lit up.
