A large dump of snow on Big White Ski Resort has postponed summer reopening.
The summer opening of the Okanagan resort has been postponed until July 10, the resort鈥檚 vice president announced on social media Monday (June 15).
Michael J. Ballingall said conditions on the mountain Monday morning showed that, 鈥渕other nature is not finished with winter at Big White Ski Resort yet.鈥�
鈥淲e will continue to use a snowcat and backhoe to clear trails wherever we can, but we are going to need a lot of help from the sun,鈥� Ballingall said.
