Shopping
Shopping for Ski and Snowboard GearWith two floors of ski/board equipment and clothing, Ski Dazzle offers
plenty of variety. We loved this place! The owner looked after us well
with great advice on new skis, and great discounts for buying in bulk.
The
Village Rider is a board shop in the village centre mall that offers
lots of goodies, although it’s somewhat cramped. There’s another ski
shop opposite the village centre mall.
General Shopping Big WhiteLike many other Canadian resorts,
Big White does the souvenir trade very well. There are great local and Canadian keepsakes that are actually worth buying, and plenty of ‘I Skied the Cliff” memorabilia. The village and Happy Valley have a few souvenir shops, and Ski Dazzle also has a large range of souvenirs.
A shopping bus is available that takes riders for the day to Orchard Park shopping mall in Kelowna.
Grocery Shopping The grocery shop in
the main street of the village is fairly small, but it stocks the basic
essentials and alcohol. Unfortunately they seem to be operating on a
ski hill currency, so if you can BYO some supplies from Kelowna, you’ll
save a few pennies.
There is also a service where you can ring up and order your groceries.
