Who in the Big White Community hasn't sat down for a little apres ski and had to endure endless dissertations about how our tax dollars are spent on the hill? Well, here's your chance to get educated on the facts instead of getting information from someone who isn't coherent enough to ski home. It's is our responsibility as stakeholders in the community to get out and voice our opinions on how our money is spent in 2010, and get the facts about the proposed 5 year financial plan.

Remember- if you don't get out to the meeting we don't want to hear you whinging! See you there: Friday, Feb 12 at 7.00 pm at the White Crystal Inn.

The budgie smugglers are back!! Ok, I’m glad they were brought out of the closet ONLY on Australia day, thanks Chad!

Like all other Aussies up here at Big White (we practically own the mountain), I was dressed in my green and gold undies over thermals, fluro zinc, flag, beer can attached to hand and flannelette shirt. There were girls snowboarding and skiing in nothing but matching mini shorts and singlets, and guys dressed as surf lifesavers, Steve Irwin and even one nutcase sporting a giant blow-up thong. What the?! It was a pretty funny sight to see a large herd of half naked Aussies shredding down (and falling up) Kangaroo run, which by the way I just found out, happens to be one of the most mogul covered runs on the mountain! Even Boomer the Kangaroo was out and about, loving skiing as well as snowboarding Big White on such a bluebird day!
