Alain got out to test conditions on the Black Forest Express today but a small friend beat him to get first tracks. Come test the snow conditions for yourself, Black Forest & Plaza Chairs start spinning tomorrow morning at 8:45am. 📸 @andrewjaybw #skibigwhite #firsttracks #okanagan #bigwhite #snowtracks

There has been no new snow in the last 24 hours, but the base remains at 57 cms.

Wind is still calm on the hill, but visibility is now variable and the sky obscure.

On Saturday, the TELUS Park opens at the resort.

Tickets are still available for Friday night’s 12th annual Big Reds event.
