About the bigwhite.com API

The Big White Ski Resort API covers 11 endpoints delivering live mountain conditions, operational data, and resort information. get_daily_snow_report alone returns 10 fields including new_snow_12hr, new_snow_24hr, new_snow_7day, snow_base, visibility, and wind conditions. Endpoints also cover lift status, grooming reports, terrain park conditions, webcam images, ticket pricing, hot deals, and the resort event calendar.

Mountain Conditions and Weather

get_resort_status_bar returns a compact snapshot — runs_open, lifts_running, snow_base, temperature, and snowfall_24hr — suitable for dashboards or status widgets. For deeper detail, get_daily_snow_report expands that into 10 fields including skies, wind, visibility, and snowfall across 12-hour, 24-hour, and 7-day windows. get_weather_forecast returns a day-by-day array with description, high, and low temperature fields covering the coming forecast period.

Lifts, Runs, and Terrain

get_lift_status returns an array of every lift at the resort with name, status (Open, Closed, or Standby), and operating hours. get_grooming_report pairs each run with its grooming status (groomed, ungroomed, or unknown) and difficulty rating (green, blue, black, or double-black). get_park_conditions lists terrain park features — including park lanes, snowcross, and mini park — each with a descriptive status string reflecting current setup.

Cameras, Pricing, Deals, and Events

get_webcams returns an array of all mountain webcams with name and image_url fields, while get_pow_cam_image gives direct access to the current Pow Cam image URL. get_tickets_and_passes returns per-category lift ticket pricing including both online and window prices with any noted savings. get_hot_deals lists active promotions with title, description, and a full URL to the deal details page. get_events surfaces upcoming resort events with title, link, date range, and category data.

No Required Inputs

Every endpoint in this API takes no input parameters — each call returns the current live state of that data segment. All 11 endpoints are stateless GET requests, making them straightforward to poll on a schedule or integrate into alerting workflows.

Frequently asked questions
Does Big White Ski Resort have an official developer API?+
Big White does not publish a public developer API. There is no documented REST or GraphQL interface available at bigwhite.com for third-party access to resort data.
What does get_grooming_report return and how granular is the difficulty data?+
It returns an array of run objects. Each object includes the run name, grooming status (groomed, ungroomed, or unknown), and difficulty level mapped to one of four values: green, blue, black, or double-black. No additional metadata such as vertical drop or run length is included.
Does the API cover historical snow data or multi-season snowfall totals?+
It does not. The API covers current-season real-time data: snowfall over the past 12 hours, 24 hours, and 7 days via get_daily_snow_report, plus the live base depth. Historical season totals or year-over-year comparisons are not exposed. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add an endpoint targeting historical snow archive data.
Does get_weather_forecast include hourly breakdowns or precipitation probability?+
It returns day-level forecast objects with day name, description, and high/low temperature fields. Hourly breakdowns, precipitation probability, and wind forecast data are not included in the response. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a more granular forecast endpoint if that data is available on the source.
How fresh is the data returned by the snow report and lift status endpoints?+
The endpoints return the current live state as published on bigwhite.com at the time of the request. There is no caching layer or timestamp field in the response indicating when the source was last updated, so freshness depends on how frequently Big White updates their published resort data.
