The 'Mega SnowCoaster' Tube Park, currently the largest in North America, has 9 lanes over 900 feet long and two lifts capable of uploading 600 people an hour.

Because of Big White's copious amount of dry snow, the trees are frozen into 'Snowghost' sculptures on the higher portions of the terrain. These 'Snowghosts' are a visual phenomenon.
