From 'I'm Difficult' t-shirts, mountain peak-shaped coat hooks, tie-dye towels and chocolates to lip balm, fridge magnets, digitally enhanced photography and dog treats.

They are all artisan products for sale by student entrepreneurs at Big White Community School.

The school at the Big White Ski Resort is small with only 36 students from kindergarten through Grade 9.

But it is big on ideas and its young entrepreneurs marketplace.

"We've been running the program for five years now with the kids developing products and services that can be sold during a one-day selling fair on Family Day in the Happy Valley Lodge," said head teacher Patrick Oliveira.

"This year, with COVID, we had to push it back and go to an online fair, which is live until March 17 at yesbwcs2021.edublogs.org. It's an applied skills program for the kids to make the real world come to life with a business plan, prototypes and then the final product to sell."

The array of businesses is as varied as the students.

But one of the overriding themes with many of the businesses is 'mountain' in keeping with Big White's incredible alpine setting.

For instance, Jaya, 8, started Mountain Girl Crafts to celebrate high-elevation life with custom-printed t-shirts.

One of her most humourous and eye-catching designs is the t-shirt with a mountain peak and double-black-diamond graphic accompanied by the text "I'm Difficult.'

The double-entendre could refer to double-black-diamond-rated ski runs being difficult or the wearer of the t-shirt having a difficult personality.

All t-shirts cost $20.

Other designs include 'I'm Just a Mountain Girl', 'The Mountains are Calling' and bear, butterfly, feather and rainbow graphics.

Another student took photos of snow-covered trees (called snow ghosts) while out skiing with family and digitally enhanced them to create stunning eight-inch-by-10-inch prints.

Snow Ghost Photography prints can be purchased for $10 each, $12 with a basic frame or $18 with frame and matting.

Kindergartener Jacob and his grandfather set up Woodwork with Grandpa to make wood, mountain peak-shaped coat hooks that sell for $10 each or three for $25.

Trystan's Dog Treats sell for $5 a bag.

Riley's Fridge Magnets are $1 each.

Emily's Bookmark Store has an array for $3 each. 

Lexi's Lip Balms are $4.50 each and Max's Chocolate Factory has made Easter confection collections that can be purchased for $5.

All the student businesses are outlined at the yesbwcs2021.edublogs.org website, along with how-to-purchase and delivery information.
