Whitewater Winter Resort is located in the Kootenay Rockies region of southeastern BC. The resort, cradled in the province's legendary Selkirk Mountains, offers 479 ha (1,184 ac) of skiing and snowboarding terrain.
 
The resort provides some of the best powder conditions in the west thanks to the up to 13 m (43 ft) of light, dry snow that can fall each season. Add in spectacular scenery, award-winning food plus a superb cross-country ski area, and Whitewater has the ideal conditions for an unforgettable snow holiday.
