This resort used to have heart. It used to have soul. Then it decided profit over experience is their game. So they outside by side chairs...except the mountain never grew. They added more and more accommodations, but they lost all their employees so there is no service to be had from them. They mandate vaccines for outdoor staff and now have none. They also don't care if you have high expectations. We had an old man having a heart attack and all the coffee owner could say was "can't you do this outside" Big White was a cool place in 1980. Now it just wants $$$$$ What was once a great place has been ruined, with a helicopter to a sister resort of Silver Star. Big White, more like big white out. Think I don't know. I gave them my heart and soul for 8 years. They are not worth your money time or effort. (note from editor: text altered for the sake of relevance)
