Whitewater Mountain Resort

British Columbia, Canada

Whitewater Mountain Resort is a ski resort in western Canada, located 10 km southeast of Nelson in southern British Columbia. In the Selkirk Mountains, the resort is situated in Ymir bowl, beneath the 2,400-metre-high (7, 874 ft) Ymir Mountain. The Selkirks receive plentiful, dry snow, and the location in a high alpine bowl provides an annual snowfall average of approximately 12 m (472 in, 39 ft). The elevation of the parking lot is 1,605 m (5, 266 ft) and the lift-served summit is 2,068 m (6, 785 ft). While Ymir Peak is not included within the ski area boundary, lifts climb both shoulders of the bowl and provide easy traverse routes along ridges to the top. In addition to its snow, the resort is renowned for its tree skiing and steep runs; only 9% of the runs are beginner, while 29% are intermediate and the remaining 62% are advanced. Areas surrounding Whitewater, including West Arm Provincial Park, are renowned for easy access for backcountry split boarding and ski touring.
