Big White, ski monday to friday or wednesday to sunday?
Fine tuning time, in terms of crowds in the middle of January, which 5 day period should I look at. Also what day time temperature at the top should I expect ? Thank you

You will have fewer people on the slopes mid week, so I would go from Monday to Friday. Big White gets alot of weekend traffic from Kelowna.
The temperatures are fairly mild at Big White. It's hard to predict what they'll be when you're there, but I don't think that somewhere from minus 7 to 10 celsius would be out of the ordinary. There's always the possibility of a cold snap, though.

You will definately have less people on the hill midweek. All of us locals have to wait until the weekends to get up there, but there is usually more going on on the weekends
(competitions, festivals, and the like)
There is also night skiing on the weekends
(friday and Saturday). I am not sure if the sno coaster is open during the week or only on weekends also.
It can be quite windy at the top of the cliff chair and the alpine t, so the windchill can make it seem colder than it actually is. Goggles and a face protector would be wise.
