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 hosts a dependable dry snowfall that often totals more than 13 metres a season, that’s more than 45 feet! 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. In the unlikely event you get tired of rocking all the natural features you can always test your mettle on the metal in the Whitewater Rail Park. Ego bruised? Go from bro (or sis!) to pro with one of their freestyle clinics and get that chairlift cheering!

Ski and snowboard at Whitewater Winter ResortRemember, it’s all about the snow. Some ski resorts measure their seasonal snowfall in metres, others in feet. Since 1976, Whitewater’s legendary winter has instead been measured in stories – the kind you take home and tell again and again.

It’s snow you’ll always remember. Pure, Simple and Real…DEEP
