Whitewater
Small, but attracting attention from around the world, Whitewater is known for one thing...powder. Cradled in the heart of British Columbia's legendary Selkirk Mountains and renowned for epic winters, Whitewater lies just outside the quaint town of Nelson. The area hosts a dependable, dry snowfall that often totals more than 13 metres a season. Far from the maddening crowds of the mega resorts, Whitewater owes its well-deserved laid back reputation to short lift lines, reasonable prices and big hospitality.
When it comes to skiing and riding, Whitewater Ski Resort serves up an endless feast of terrain. Explore the stunning array of steeps, deeps, chutes, bowls, glades, groomed cruisers and gentle rollers. Combined with all the natural launches, drops, and hits you can shake your sticks at, Whitewater is the ultimate natural winter playground.
