Anyone got a review on Big White so far?

Not at all what they marketed it to be. A couple okay trails with lots of a green run in between. Great to take the wife and kids to, not somewhere ill be going for a typical park day anytime soon. They are opening another run after the enduro but it's not complete yet.

I haven't gone up to big white but from what I've researched it's pretty disappointing. I don't see much reason to pay for 2km of total trail (outside of greens).

Tickets are $25, and I'd say you can have $25 worth of fun.

Time is the key for it. I will go back, but probably won't until I see some of the new trails open on trail forks.

So is the Enduro scheduled for Big White this weekend just using the very limited bike park trails? I don't see any other trails within riding distance of Big White....

Which trail?

parts of simpson and the berms down the shale trail are mangled the berms are full of braking ruts and where simpson meets the DH line the corner there is so loose and washed out that you can barley keep control there .. i know its a heavy use trail by ppl of all skills but whats the sense of builfing something then letting it fall apart

What's the point of pointing out a problem if you aren't willing to offer a potential solution? Maybe get in touch with the fine lads that perform the maintenance and give em' a hand.

Bigwhite is fun but could use some more trails. If you like riding bikes it's fun
