During the summer, there is so much to do at Big White, as well as in Kelowna. In addition to hiking, biking, and horseback riding, for example, Big White holds various summer festivals. Kelowna sits on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake, surrounded by mountains, provincial parks, wineries, and orchards. It boasts an energetic downtown and a stunning waterfront City Park and boardwalk, as well as numerous beaches, golf courses, wineries, and more.
It’s arrived! Biking at Big White is off to a great start in constructing a world-class, lift-serviced mountain biking experience. The bike park’s Grand Opening debut was August 2017.

The authentic, grassroots biking adventure, is slated for enduro, for downhill, and for freeride experiences.
Family flow trails provide feature-rich learning environments, encouraging controlled trail speed.
Expert and pro-level trails, though, are available to more experienced bikers as well!
Summers at Big White are just as breathtaking as their winters. More so, perhaps, as much more terrain is accessible during the summer than during the winter. You can take it all in, too, on horseback, as you’re led through trails and to those breathtaking views.
