Interior Health says an investigation has found 60 cases of COVID-19 linked to the Big White Ski Resort in Kelowna.
It says large groups and social gatherings appear to be responsible for much of the transmission related to shared housing at the resort.
The health authority says it's safe to visit Big White as long as people stick to their immediate household bubbles and avoid gathering with others.
The resort's senior vice-president on Tuesday said, the company knows there are people residing on the mountain who have probably been gathering when they should not be.
But Interior Health is again asking people to avoid non-essential travel and to only visit their local ski hill.
