Whitewater Ski Resort - Community Reviews & Ratings

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
