I like Big White, had friends out there and used to go a few times. Now they moved to Calgary and I havent been there for a couple years...
The popularity of big white may make the condo a better investment (think next whistler or somesuch), but I am thinking you may not care soo much about the investment side of this and you would prolly prefer the quieter mountain.
So, rent a condo for the year and build the house on the quieter mountain and hire a designer to get your house done so you have less stress
