“Ninety-nine per cent of them — great. That one percent … seems like we were chasing people around the mountain all day long. You have to have a mask, there is no grey area here. You cannot load the lift if you’re not wearing a mask properly and you have to have a mask on when you’re unloading the lift as well. That’s not our rules we’re just abiding by the law and some people because it’s out of town and up in the mountains they don’t think anyone’s watching — well we’re watching.”

Monday the resort fully opened for day-pass guests. Ballingall said things ran smoothly with about 1,000 skiers and boarders cooperative and thankful for all the safety measures.  Word to the wise, they aren’t playing around at Big White, either wear your mask or stay home.

Big White wants to emphasize it’s policy isn’t just to protect the business, the patrons, and the employees….its to protect the people who live there including the school children who helped the resort drive that point home with this video:

“Big White isn’t just a ski resort, it is also a place many call home! We visited the Big White Community school to ask some of our resident students about the importance of wearing a mask- here is what they had to say!”
