Name: Katie Balkwill
Employer: Big White Ski Resort
City: Kelowna
Occupation: Sales and marketing manager
Tell us about your job: I love my job! There’s never a dull day in our office and many of my meetings take place on a chairlift. I’m responsible for Big White’s sales and marketing initiatives in Western North America. The hardest part of my job is getting someone to Big White the first time, but once they’ve experienced everything we have to offer they are sure to return.
Tell us about yourself: I’m always up for an adventure, and live by a work hard, play hard mentality. There’s so much to enjoy in the Okanagan and so many great people to enjoy it with.
What do you do for fun? In the winter you’ll find me on the slopes and enjoying some of the Okanagan’s great culinary and craft beer creations! Summer is all about embracing the outdoors and the natural beauty of the Okanagan: biking, boating, camping, and more.
What Winnie the Pooh character do you most relate to? Tigger! I tend to walk with a bounce in my step and full of energy.
Latest movie or book: I’ve been binge watching Sons of Anarchy. I’m a little behind in the series but finally catching up to everyone else.
What’s your go-to happy place? Big White! On a champagne powder day you’ll find me on my snowboard riding through the Enchanted Forest and Thunder Glades.
