Whitewater Head Office

As a connoisseur of locally controlled mom and pop ski areas in western North American I can say after two days here with my family from Washington state that This Is a Jewel.We did not hit new prime powder, but the early spring skiing was lovely.The terrain is fabulous. We only made use of the obvious , but we got a great workout. Beyond lift served areas there is another 70% available to the adventurous and strong.Over the last two years I and a select small group of like minded enthusiasts have made it a point to experience as many of the small and unique ski areas in the Northwest as possible.

We spent two weeks skiing here. Staff were amazing. The terrain both groomed and off piste are varied and plentiful. Food in the cafe is restaurant quality and plenty of variety and options for varied dietary requirements. I cannot rate the field the staff and the whole experience highly enough.

What an awesome little hidden gem of a hill, we LOVED Whitewater! They are a smaller resort with big terrain slowly building up their lifts to high-speed and other developments. As it stands, it is an authentic ski resort with one good, solid, rustic lodge containing all of the services you might need. Excellent parking system, attendants out there helping neatly line everyone up. The lifts are quick and easy to access, the ticket prices are excellent, a really pretty spot in a secluded valley of the mountains, and well-planned use of the very diverse terrain. The shallower slope to the east is used mainly for beginners with mostly green runs, and gentle blue runs with some simple glades for people to build their skills. The big ridge to the west has awesome front and backside skiing just for blue and black skiers. We loved the back and spent almost our entire day there. Beautiful, deep powder, fun tree glades that competent blue skiers can handle and enjoy, and a cute little lodge with a wood-burning stove and some lunch items near the back-side lift line. Apparently last year they only had portable washrooms and a food truck, so they are developing the backside bit by bit! The food was alright here, not amazing, but in fairness it is a really tiny kitchen. We didn't try the main lodge's food, which is supposedly excellent and under the guidance of a master chef. We will absolutely be back to Whitewater, one of our favourite hills to date!

On the wrong side of history. This company is choosing to take part in segregation and discrimination. They will be held accountable for the choices they are making.

I guess some who live in mountains, remain a little out of touch with reality. Much appreciation to Whitewater Mountain for their concerns for people's safety. Some people confuse freedom of choice with "segregation". You are free to decide to be vaccinated or not...just like Whitewater management can choose to run their business safely. Go or not. Your segregation is self-imposed.

Excellent resort to get the legs ready for Kootnay back country! Have not hit the backside of Whitewater yet, but it is rumored to be pretty amazing.

Some of the best Resort powder you can find in BC, I recommend WH20 to anyone who enjoys a small town ski hill that is still focused on skiing and not charging ridiculous prices. Unlike other resorts in the Kootenays WH20 has not become a “corporate” hill solely focused on making money.

I never really post negative comments. but, i have to. I have been traveling throughout the world, i was lucky to ski in most of the biggest ski resort in the world, i'm not gonna lie, 115$ for a day pass at whitewater is a scam. compared to RED close by and their installation the road isn't paved all the way, how do you get an ambulance up and down fast ? no service, how do you meet up with your family/friend/other. not mentioning the security if you need to call for help? i do agree that it's cool to have a little resort in such remote place, though, we should all go down to the ground, we are talking about 3 lifts, very slow often having to queue in line. Oh and most of the slopes are LITERALLY the exact same face of the mountain but 3 trees away from each other. How can you claim it to have that many slopes/piste when you are mostly going in the trees and that cost you nothing to maintain. ski is a business i am very familiar with it. those prices do not reflect the quality of the resort let's please stay humble. i'm a bit disappointed. sorry if the words are hard
