Whitewater's Profile

Whitewater

Deep powder. Endless glades. A true local gem. Just outside Nelson, BC, Whitewater is known for its legendary snowfall, laid-back vibe, and terrain that rewards both adventure seekers and cruisers. From steep chutes and tree runs to wide-open bowls and playful groomers, the mountain offers something for every rider — all with a distinctly uncrowded, authentic Kootenay feel. The base area is simple and soulful, but the skiing is world-class, paired with a food scene that’s earned cult status.The closest airport to Whitewater is West Kootenay Regional Airport (YCG) in Castlegar, about 43 km away, with shuttle and bus connections to Nelson.
