Snowmobiles are not permitted within the resort's recreational area and due to the fact the resort is closed no safety measures are currently in place.

The mountain has released a trail map that highlights the available recreation areas in green, along with a reminder that any access to the terrain above the village is not permitted.

Big White Ski Resort is tentatively planning to open for its summer season on July 1.
