Christmas at Big White
I have just had a talk with one of my colleagues about Christmas preparations and he mentioned that for the first time since his kids were born, they are going to spend Christmas away from home.
The kids’ dilemma: how is Santa going to know where they have gone and would they get any presents at all?
What my colleague planned for this year was a family reunion at Big White. They have rented an apartment to accommodate three families, two of them with a combined number of four kids, along with a set of grand parents.
Big White has been known as Canada’s affordable ski destination.
For $365 a night you can get a 4-bedroom loft at Chateau on the Ridge.
Among the amenities, for this amount of money you get: Bar, Dining Room, Dishwasher, 2 Full Bathrooms (Tub/Shower) and one ½ Bathroom, Full Kitchen, Gas Fireplace, In suite Laundry, PlayStation 2, Pool Table, Portable Stereo, 2 Televisions, 2 VCRs.
Other services:
- Ski in/Ski out
- Ski storage
- Underground parking
- Common hot tub
