Big White Ski Resort is celebrating a milestone today as they officially hit a snow base of 300 centimetres.

鈥淎s you know, the motto of Big White Ski Resort is, 鈥淚t鈥檚 The Snow鈥� and it鈥檚 obvious that snow is our natural advantage. It actually doesn鈥檛 stop snowing!鈥� says Big White senior vice president Michael J. Ballingall.

鈥淲e can expect snow to fall every month of the year at beautiful Big White Ski Resort.鈥�

The Big White team decided to do a little math to show what 300 centimetres of snow really means.

Ballingall says president and CEO Peter Plimmer got out his calculator last night in the anticipation of hitting a 300cm base today.

Here are the numbers provided by Big White.

The resort is 7,355 acres which translates to 29,764,630 square metres.

Each one of those metre sections is now three metres deep which amounts to 89,293,890 cubic metres of snow.

Just over 89 million cubic metres of snow weighs approximately 71,435,112,000 kilograms or 157,157,246,400 pounds.

Statistics show that a pound of snow contains about 22,325 snowflakes.

So 157,157,246,400 pounds times 22,325 snowflakes equals 鈥� 3,508,535,525,880,000 snowflakes.

鈥�3,508,535,525,880,000 snowflakes would had fallen at Big White when we hit three metres!鈥� adds Ballingall.
