Big White & British Columbia Road Reports & Driving Tips
It is a 45-50 minute drive from Kelowna Airport to Big White BC.
- Animal Hazards -Be wary of deer, moose and other wildlife, including cattle-especially on Big White Road. many animals are out at dawn and dusk so be extra careful at these times.
- Gas Up -in Kelowna. There is no gas station for 75 km after you leave Kelowna, including in Big White. make sure you leave Kelowna with a full tank ... running out on the way to or from the ski hill will not win you any Brownie Points.
- Wiper Fluid -Make sure that you are totally topped us, with a spare jug in the trunk! Weather changes rapidly on the high mountain roads and it can get messy!
- Food & Coffee for the Road - There lots of restaurants on Highway 97 and either side of Highway 33. The last Tim Horton's is just after you turn onto Highway 33.
- Drive During Daylight Hours -Try and arrive in daylight hours and always flow with traffic. You don't want to be coming up after 4 pm as all the day traffic is racing down and visa versa in the mornings.
- Obey Posted Speeds - Nothing puts a damper on the start to a great holiday like a $200 speeding ticket. Save the speed for the GS once you strap on your boards.
- Don't Tailgate Logging Trucks -They move on the highways closer to the mountains and are often coming off higher mountain areas so keep the rocks from your windshield and give them a little space.
- Best of all - Take the time to enjoy the drive. The scenery is beautiful in British Columbia and as they say...it's the best place on earth.
