“Big news everybody, we’ve had to delay the opening of Big White Ski Resort until Tuesday, Dec. 5, snow permitting,” Michael Ballingall, Big White’s senior vice-president, said.
“If we get more snow before that (40 centimetres required) we will do our best to open earlier as soon as snow permits. ”
Ballingall said mountain officials met with their forecasters Monday morning and are not expecting significant snowfall until the weekend.
“Fingers crossed,” he added.
Last week when the first delay was announced Ballingall said it was all par for the course.
“I’ve been doing this since 1985 and I can tell you — nothing really unusual here,” Ballingall said last week.
