Big White Hostal Gets Facelift
Kelowna, B.C: Ski and snowboard enthusiasts looking to visit Big White Ski Resort on a budget next winter will be in for a pleasant surprise.
SameSun Ventures Inc has commenced a C$250,000 renovation to their backpacker accommodation located in the Mogul's condominium building located slope side at Big White Ski Resort. Modifications to this 120 person facility will include upgrading all the private rooms, including the addition of hardwood floors throughout, kitchenettes and colour televisions. Guests will also have access to a massive entertainment area, common kitchen/dining areas, a twelve person hot tub and a theatre room equipped with a big screen satellite TV.
"Big White has always been our marquis ski hostel, so it only made sense to ensure the quality of that operation is not surpassed anywhere else in North America," commented SameSun President Craig Kelley. "Guests partaking in our all inclusive week-long Okanagan Powder Package will now be met with three of the nicest and newest hostels anywhere – Big White, the two year old Silver Star hostel and the three year old facility in downtown Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada."
"As British Columbia's second most popular resort, we are committed to providing affordable ski to/ski-from accommodation for all age groups and social demographics," said Michael J. Ballingall, Vice President, Big White and Silver Star Ski Resorts. "I've personally visited and spent some time in Samesun's hostel at Big White and they would host some of the best resort parties found anywhere in the world! We've made available special ticket package product for Craig and his staff so they can provide one-stop shopping for all purchasers of this tourism product."
Guests can have their own room at the Big White Ski Lodge for as little as C$49 per night while a dormitory bed is only C$20 per night. Everything is provided for hostel guests including kitchen facilities, ski storage, linen and internet access.
