Whitewater Ski Resort

Whitewater Ski Resort, quietly legendary, is hard to describe to those who have not had the privilege to experience its true authenticity and abundance of snow. Over 12 meters (40 feet) of snow falls each season on 2044 vertical feet of uncrowded slopes of family-friendly groomers and bumps, remarkable steeps, top of the line tree-skiing, and endless backcountry. Some come for the legendary skiing, and some come for the legendary food. Whitewater serves up proper Kootenay hospitality with its internationally acclaimed menu that has inspired four National Best Selling cookbooks. Whitewater. Pure, simple and real…DEEP

We loved skiing Whitewater over the holidays. We felt safe and well taken care off. The snow conditions were great and everything was well organized. All services ran very smoothly including the lift line ups. Staff and guests followed all the Covid protocols that were in place. The resort's website explains everything really well: what to expect this season, how to book your lift tickets, how to reserve a table to have lunch, etc. Whitewater ski resort should be commended for a job well done!!

Reviewed By notpicky68 - Chewelah, United States

The park was my favorite part of Nelson. The flowers were gorgeous, the walking trail nice, and the beach was a great place to relax and watch those who rented kayaks and paddle boards. Surprised at all the graffitti though.

Head up Gyro Park Road, find the parking lot by the pool and go for the short hike up the lookout point. On a sunny, clear the day the views are amazing.

Pulpit Rock

Reviewed By kimberlyannj2016 - Ladysmith, Canada

Great hike, bring lots of water. It was a hot day and the views from the lookout were amazing. We carried on for a bout an hour after the lookout but did not make it to the radio tour. Good to start early quite busy for parking.
