Carpe Diem Tours Opens 2026-27 Kelowna to Big White Ski Shuttle Bookings

KELOWNA, British Columbia, Canada, September 14, 2026 - Ski season is on its way back to the Okanagan Valley, and Carpe Diem Tours is now taking 2026-27 ski-season reservations through BigWhiteShuttle.ca. The site is the Kelowna company's home for winter ski transportation in British Columbia, Canada: a weekend Kelowna to Big White ski shuttle running Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, private ski shuttles, Kelowna International Airport (YLW) transfers, and private ski transportation to Silver Star Mountain Resort, Sun Peaks Resort, Revelstoke Mountain Resort and Apex Mountain Resort.

For skiers and snowboarders searching for a Kelowna to Big White shuttle, a Big White ski shuttle or a Kelowna airport shuttle to Big White, the idea is simple: leave the Canadian winter driving to an experienced local driver, get comfortable, and save your energy for the ski hill.

Leave the winter mountain driving to someone else

Anyone who has driven into the mountains during a British Columbia winter knows that getting there is part of the ski trip. Snow, changing road conditions, tire chains, parking, luggage and ski gear can turn an exciting ski day into a stressful drive. Carpe Diem's winter ski shuttle service takes that part away, with drivers experienced in Canadian winter conditions, winter-ready vans with room for skis and snowboards, and morning pickups across Kelowna.

"Bringing these services back was an easy decision after the response we received last year," says Sanela Sehovac, founder of Carpe Diem Tours. "Whether it's a day on the mountain, a festival outing, or a winter wine tour, our goal is to make travel safe, simple, and enjoyable."

Kelowna to Big White ski shuttle: weekend service, Friday to Sunday, for locals and visitors

Big White Ski Resort is promoted as home to Canada's largest totally ski-in, ski-out village and sits about an hour east of Kelowna in British Columbia's Okanagan region, with more than 100 runs for skiing and snowboarding. The weekend Big White ski shuttle runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as a same-day, round-trip service from Kelowna to the resort. Morning pickups run through five stops across the city, from the Upper Mission and the Eldorado boat launch to Okanagan College, Orchard Park Mall and Rutland, arriving at Big White's Happy Valley day lodge in time for a full day of skiing. The return shuttle leaves Big White in the afternoon and drops guests back at the same stops.

Seats are first come, first served, each passenger can bring skis or a snowboard plus one personal bag, and UBCO and Okanagan College students get special pricing. Current fares and pickup times are listed at BigWhiteShuttle.ca.

Private Big White ski shuttles and group transportation

For families, ski clubs, corporate groups and visitors who want more flexibility, private Big White ski shuttles offer door-to-door service with flexible pickup times from Kelowna, Vernon or Kelowna International Airport, and include a grocery and liquor stop on the way up the mountain. Skiers arriving in Canada for a ski holiday can stock their Big White condo before they reach the village.

Kelowna airport (YLW) ski transfers

Skiers flying into Kelowna International Airport (YLW), the gateway airport for Big White and the Okanagan ski resorts, can book direct pickup at the airport, with meet and greet available, and head straight to the mountain instead of arranging a rental vehicle and taking on unfamiliar Canadian winter roads. It is an especially useful option for international visitors, families and groups arriving with skis, snowboards and everything else that comes with a ski holiday in British Columbia.

Private ski shuttles to Silver Star, Sun Peaks, Revelstoke and Apex

Big White may be closest to Kelowna, but it is only part of the British Columbia ski story. Carpe Diem Tours also offers private ski shuttle transportation from Kelowna to:

• Silver Star Mountain Resort, near Vernon
• Sun Peaks Resort, near Kamloops
• Revelstoke Mountain Resort
• Apex Mountain Resort, near Penticton
• Custom intermountain ski itineraries connecting more than one BC ski resort

Intermountain ski shuttles let visitors fly into Kelowna, ski several British Columbia resorts on one Canadian ski trip, and add grocery and liquor stops along the way, without managing the winter driving themselves. Winter wine tours to the Okanagan wineries open year-round and festival shuttles to seasonal events round out the winter lineup.

The same personal service guests already know

Carpe Diem Tours built its reputation on Okanagan wine tours by caring about the people it hosts. That shows in its reviews: a 5.0 rating across more than 200 Google reviews, and a 5.0 rating on Tripadvisor, where guests describe punctual, friendly drivers, easy communication, clean and comfortable vans, and the personal touches that make a day feel special. The scenery changes from vineyards to snow-covered ski runs in winter, but the philosophy does not.

"At the end of the day, beyond business, I always hope people remember us simply as good people who genuinely care," says Sehovac.

2026-27 winter ski shuttle bookings are now open

Skiers and snowboarders planning a Big White ski trip or a British Columbia ski holiday are encouraged to reserve early, particularly for holiday weekends and group travel dates, as seats fill quickly during ski season.
