The Big White Ski Club is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run club which has been in existence for over 60 years due to the generous help of our members.  We encourage all families to get involved – whether it is helping at a BBQ, race, officiating, or giving of your time and talents to our organization – we can only do what we do with the help of you!

Each year our club comes up with NEW ways to fundraise. We have hosted BBQs at our club cabin or Ski Cross Races, Pub Nights, Gala Events, Movie Nights, etc. Please watch our website, Instagram & Facebook pages to keep up with any upcoming events. Volunteers are needed at EVERY event so please reach out to our Social Committee if you'd like to get involved. social@bigwhtieskiclub.com
