Whitewater Ski Resort - Community Reviews & Ratings

Whitewater is a community ski resort with great attitude, 3 chairs and steller black diamonds, this resort has some of the best tree runs and there are more than other resorts I have skied. All in all this is one of my favorite places to ski in North America. Season passes are reasonably priced, the food is excellent and the pub is loaded with local micro brew options. Love it!

Love whitewater so much, if you want loads of groomers you may get bored after a day but the terrain is so fun off piste and if you want to be challenged this is the place. you will almost never wait long for a lift and the lodge is so cute as well.

Whitewater was a breath of fresh air! We arrived on Thursday and there was a huge dump Thursday night. We were told it got 20cm but it definitely felt closer to a foot. The trees were incredible! And endless. You'd be a little hard pressed to find long groomed runs at this resort but going off-piste is the way to go. We skied a second day and the snow was even better! Definitely recommend visiting Whitewater!

It was a great place to bring family and only downside is no internet in the main lodge or service on the site for phones to keep in touch with loved ones

An old school resort with awesome tree runs, alpine bowls, side and back country. Fabulous food for a great price, craft beers, friendly locals and an all around great vibe.

Amazing ski hill ....4 chairs ..lots of different angles for sunny slopes or notFood is amazing ..healthy and excellent cappuccinosLots of uncrowded slopesLove the viewsWorth skiing there

Best snow in Canada currently. Excellent terrain, hits everywhere. Very few people, short lift lines. Hidden gem.

Out of this world, once in a life time dream trip, amazing riding, fab facilities on and off slopes, and staff that go above and beyond thank you

Pure simple and REAL DEEP!! Great skiing, beautiful mountains, awesome food and great bar. Cool little spots for food all over the mountain. Lift lines are never too long of a wait and its ALWAYS good snow!

I love skiing Whitewater! Although the chairlifts are slow, the powder and terrain never disappoints. Great food at the lodge, people are so friendly and Nelson is just half an hour away.

Whitewater is a small BC resort with Big terrain and Big spirit. There is no housing development, no internet, and it's fantastic. This mountain is about being in your gear putting good time in on the slopes. There is a variety of accommodation and great eateries in the nearby town of Nelson. For an authentic small BC town and mountain experience, Whitewater is our favorite.

Whitewater ski resort is where the Cascade mountain range meets the Rocky mountain in beautiful British Columbia. When it's snowing here it doesn't stop. Prepare to never want to leave this resort. People are kind and connecting. Strangers stopping strangers just to greet each other. It's worth the go!

Whitewater has excellent snow year round and a good variety of runs for all levels. Backcountry and slack country is king. Excellent powerder days and some advanced terrain for people who want the challenge.

Whitewater in Nelson British Columbia is unquestionably worth a visit if youre searching for a good ski resort experience. All skill levels can enjoy a variety of difficult runs and more relaxed options on this excellent snowboarding terrain. Its made even better by the friendly locals and the laid-back atmosphere. To avoid crowds and get the freshest powder its a good idea to get to the slopes early. Positively the snow quality is typically excellent and the scenery is stunning. Though it might not be to everyones taste be ready for a bit of a trek to get there and limited amenities. For those who value a more relaxed genuine mountain experience its a treasure all around.

Super deep powder. Great Canadian hospitality. Lots of terrain available out of bounds. No on resort accommodations for the city of Nelson has lots of good food and places to stay

Incredible ski hill that still has a community feel. Incredible access to back country and even inbound terrain contains amazing glades, big cliffs and everything in between. A really special play. If you know you know !

Whitewater ski resort is in Nelson BC's backyard. This resort and community vibe kindly. You will never want to leave. Whitewater is sick when the powder comes and overall there is always a few fresh cms daily between epic dumps. This year's 2024 opening weekend was a dream with deep fresh pow. Whitewater is Worth the trip. Accommodationsin Nelson bc with lots of great food and drink. Absolutely love this place and the West Kootenay Selkirk mountains are of another world.

If you love trees and pow this is the place for you. With an average of 12m of snow, pow days are abundant. While the groomed runs are limited, the trees and back-country like feel of the resort more than make up for it. The restaurant on site is renowned for not only quality of food, but it's reasonable prices as well. Although the resort is a bit odd in its layout, with the base area and main lifts a short drive away from the second resort area, the area around the Glory chair is more than enough to keep you busy for days. As lifts are a bit older and the resort lacks the glam of the big resorts, lifts are more affordable and the pace a bit slower. There is no park riding here unless you like grinding fallen trees. Red Resort is only 1 hour away for days when the snow isn't dumping, although it's not unusual to find powder stashes weeks after a dump. Highly recommend.

Small hill feeling with big hill terrain and atmosphere, will always have powder to ride. Generally the best all around experience

Powder is usually nice at whitewater. I go a few times every season, its not my main hill but I can still really appreciate it. Gets busy occasionally but anythings better than whistler. Very enjoyable hill, solid runs, above average pow
