Give the guys at Kelowna Yamaha or banner recreation a call. Both are active members in the Kelowna club. The grey stokes is the riding area. No big climbs but lots of good meadow riding and very family friendly. About 30min from Kelowna.

If your at the Big White ski resort you can easily connect to Grey Stokes by riding your sleds around the Big White mountian over to uncle Toms cabin, then from there you can make the connection to Moore mountian then down onto Linden lake into the Grey Stokes.

I used to ride from Grey Stokes to Big White village and go for a steak and beer in the evening regularly for fun. Back side of Big White has big climbs and lots of tree riding. It is a very nice ride but easy to get lost though, very big area.

What Lund said is exactly right.You access the white house and uncle toms from east side of mountain/cross country ski area(just make sure you dont go on there trails)
It is a vast area ,so track yourself and keep eye on fuel.Really good tree riding in some areas.Stay away from the backside of the ski mountain unless your with someone that has been in there.

ps...hope for snow its been weeks since weve had any.

IMO its one of them Okanagan hinden gems, mostly local rider's and not alot as most hangout in Greystokes.
But the biggest bonus is virtualy NO albertans as most get caught up in Golden and Revy.....hahaha
You will find lots and lots of untouched snow there, more then Revy mostly because of its seclusion. It is in the same snow belt as Revy and Sicamous.

They are getting major dump now.
Take it this way, Big White mountian get's an awsome amount and some of the best powder of all interior ski resorts. If you find them online, currently 129cm base and will easily hit over 200 by March, that is measured on the mountian and not in the lower valley's or base of mountian, ie village. Their is always alot more in the valley's where you would sled, Turbo mtn in Revy doesn't get that kinda snow on top.
They are known as a ski resort with the best "champagne" powder in north america. I've sledded many places in BC and i do believe they do.

Rode Little White on Saturday, really boney up to around 6,100 feet to where it was hard crusted snow but softened as the day went on. All in all decent day with the exception of the staging area (Myra) which is basically done for the season unless the area gets more precip.
