Ski Resorts and Snowboarding Areas
Whitewater Winter Resort
Nelson has become a mecca for adventurists looking for a pristine powder destination. Find your powder legs on Whitewater's incredible terrain and then set your sights on backcountry adventure with one of our local cat or heli-skiing operators. Experience the adventure of a lifetime! Take everything that truly matters in a winter resort, put it on one mountain, and you'll know what Whitewater is all about. Deep snow, great terrain, authentic character and a spectacular setting - it's a place unlike any other in the world. Spend your days exploring Whitewater's varied terrain - gentle groomers, wide-open glades and bowls, and all the steep, deep sick stuff too. After your day on the mountain, the town of Nelson offers comfortable accommodation, a great selection of restaurants, art cafes, heritage pubs and metro nightlife. Ski & Stay packages start at only $53 per person!
