Weather at Big White

Weather at Big White: a six-day forecast for three elevations of the mountain. Temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud cover from MET Norway. Updated several times a day.

What the weather at Big White is usually like

The ski area runs from 1,508 to 2,285 m above sea level - a 777 m vertical. In December the daytime average is -5 °C at the base and -10 °C at the summit. Plan for that 5 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top. The summit sits around -10 °C at the same time of year - at that point the wind matters more than the thermometer.

Average daytime highs at the summit stay below freezing from November through March.

The season usually runs from 4 December to 11 April.

By March the base is around 2 °C while the summit still holds -3 °C: on days like that, start early and stay high. Based on monthly averages and the resort elevations. For the coming days, see the forecast above.
