Parking

Please ensure that parking spots are used appropriately to aid in efficient and safe snow removal.  If you do not have enough parking please use and direct your guests to park in the Snow Pine overflow located at the east end of the Lower Lane that can also be accessed via the road to the Ski Patrol and Ski Racers.

When parking in Snow Pine Estates Overflow parking – please contact Snow Pines Strata with your license plate number, phone number and the lot or street address and unit number.  Vehicles will be towed when in violation of parking regulations. Contact:  snowpineestates@outlook.com

Between November 1st and May 1st (Snow Season) –  All vehicles must be moved at least once every 5 days to allow for snow removal.  This is not long term parking.  If you require long term parking, please contact Big White concierge at concierge@bigwhite.com for long term parking in Happy Valley Overflow.

Please note: these rules are in place to ensure safe and efficient snow removal as well as the safety of your vehicle.

Snow Removal

Big White does the snow removal within Snow Pine strata.

Here are a few things to take note of:

To insure that your area is cleared please remove vehicles from your driveway/ parking areas when snow removal is required.

To prepare your property for snow removal please mark off the area that you require to be cleared. Unless an owner/representative of the property is present, snow removal equipment will only come within 1 (one) meter of structure to avoid any damages.

If you have any questions please contact (250) 765-3101 or email: utlities@bigwhite.com
