Two weeks and counting.
That’s how long before Big White will open its doors, on Nov. 23, to anxiously waiting skiers and snowboarders throughout the Okanagan.
And on Tuesday, the popular ski resort announced on social media that it had received 12 cm of snow in the past 12 hours, and that more snow was en route.
As of 3 p.m., the resort was reporting 18 cm of new snow in the past 24 hours, along with an alpine base of 20 cm.
