My visit was a spur of the moment decision to fly from Sydney, Australia, to surprise my son, his wife and my grandson who had flown into Big White from Singapore for two weeks.

I was quick to get over jetlag and loved spending time with the family – especially exploring the Happy Valley Adventure playground – sleigh rides with my grandson, popcorn treats by the bonfire, and watching him manage (very well) to walk in snow shoes.

I joined in skiing on Ladies Day and Masters Monday group lessons and loved my time here in this truly winter wonderland with my family. Stonebridge was the ideal location with my grandson – easy to walk into the village, ski home to check on him with his babysitter (provided through the resort). We loved being able to cook up fabulous meals in the well-appointed executive style Stonebridge Lodge condominium kitchen, then relax by the fireplace to read, or just watch the snow falling gently outside our window overlooking the Easy Street ski run. Life is great at Stonebridge and Big White.

Thank you! Arrived this afternoon and it is snowing so bloody fantastic well done. The condo is great, our son is shovelling the balcony so we may be in the hot tub later, can’t wait to hit the slopes tomorrow.

Everything is beautiful and Karin looks relaxed.

Merry Christmas & best wishes, Daryl.

What a wonderful time our family had at Big White. Lots of snow. This was our first white Christmas and we skiied, skated, tubed, mini ski dooed and a sleigh ride through the trees.

What a wonderful place to spend Christmas. We had plenty of snow, some challenging runs and the best apartment to return to each day, plus a hot tub! We’d have to go a long way to beat this – in fact we did come a long way!! Thank you for making your fantastic apartment available to us. Hopefully we will return with our family very soon.

Beautiful views and great location. We really enjoyed our stay.

— Phil & Diane Larson

We found the condo well stocked (kitchen utensils etc.) not that we did any cooking! We loved the location too – very handy for the shops and restaurants etc. We very much hope to return next year for more glorious skiing! The private hot tub was a particular favourite with us.

Thanks for allowing us to stay in your wonderful Stonebridge Lodge condo. It’s actually our second time and we try to get it now every time we come back to Big White. The kids love the ski-in, ski-out and come and go as they please.

— The Bartholomews, Sydney, Australia

We are so excited to be staying here at Stonebridge. What a beautiful place. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the location overlooking the village home run. The warm decor, fireplace and extra touches makes for a very comfortable place after a full day of powder. Thank you!
