Can anyone recommend any good places to stay in Big White that aren't too expensive? I'm looking for a studio room with a kitchenette (only needs a microwave and small fridge as my idea of cooking is warming up a frozen dinner.)

Skiing in a new center can ba a challenge. If you are looking for approved accommodations try the centeral residence bookiing service. Big White is a ski resort that is somewhat remote from a major city, Kelowna is nearby but that's still 45 minutes by car. cenres@bigwhite.com will have most on hill accommoadtions as part of their listings. Try them.

I have skied Big White sevral times in the past five years and have good success with the Copper Kettle lodge. Mid price and a good place to stay in Big White village on the hill really.

Kelowna has many hotels and private accommodations just google the town to get the chamber of commerce and follow the links to the accommodadtions to find a spot. All prices and types of stuff. Most hotels in Canada are clean and worthy of a stay if part of a chain such a Best Western.

The last bet I'd suggest is try B&B Canada. You might be surprised what is there. A private home with a private room bath and even private enterance can be found. Most includde a breakfast that in itself is worth $10- 15. www.bbcanada.com/british_columbia

I have stayed at this beach front resort and was pleased I was riding my motorcycle and was well recieved. www.amykonos.com/ See what you think. The photos are of the summer as that's the high season for beach front. The lake doesn't freeze over in winter but is damed cold. The B&B is almost a boutique hotel and rather quaint. As I said the skiing is about an hour away higher in the mountains.

Good luck.
