Whitewater has a legendary laidback atmosphere that provides the perfect ski holiday getaway.
Whitewater Winter Resort is nestled in the Selkirk Mountains, near Nelson, and is one of the friendliest mountains resorts in British Columbia. This region has built a solid reputation on the incredible amounts of light, fluffy powder that piles up each winter - and Whitewater is no exception. Groomed runs include some lengthy leg burners, gentle cruisers and shorter pitches - all of which are easily accessible from three lifts. The terrain is divided 20% Beginner, 40% Intermediate and 40% Advanced. Area recreation includes cross-country, curling in town, helicopter skiing, snowcat skiing, ice fishing, ice skating, movies, snowmobiling, hot springs and swimming in nearby Nelson.
Twenty minutes from Whitewater, the town of Nelson is a place where meticulously restored heritage buildings house one of a kind hip boutiques, an array of outdoor equipment stores, cafes and bars. Far from the hustle and bustle of today's bigger resorts, Whitewater owes its legendary laid back reputation to small lift lines and big hospitality. |
