Big White Luxury - Raven Penthouse....

Just to try and keep things in some sort of chronological order, this is the place we will call home for 10 nights at the start of our trip at Big White Ski Resort.

The luxurious Raven Penthouse

It certainly is one of the best properties on the mountain, halfway down the hill between the Village and the Happy Valley area.

I doubt very much we will be making the slog up the hill to get to the village very often, but a shuttle stops at the front door every 15 minutes and it is a leisurely few minutes walk DOWN the hill to the Gondola which will take you right into the middle of the village action.

This is the short gondola ride which will be our main form of transport to and from the village...

There are 4 main bedrooms in the downstairs area for the adults...

Two bunkrooms in the upstairs loft area for the kids...

...and the kid's retreat upstairs with pool table, Wii and Playstation3.

At capacity, the penthouse sleeps 18, so the 12 of us should be comfortable enough. The complex also has a gym and salt water indoor heated swimming pool for the sole use of guests. All you need to know can be found on the link to 'Raven Penthouse' at the top.
