Whitewater Ski Resort is the area's best kept secret, with top quality runs and huge snowfalls ensuring the resort competes with the best. Our deep snow and steep vertical attracts pro skiers, snowboarders, heli-skiiers and ski-touring fanatics from around the world.
We have more Cat Ski operations here than anywhere else—appropriate because cat skiing was born here in 1975 with Selkirk Wilderness Skiing (now Selkirk Snowcat Skiing). “What if I told you there was a place hidden deep in the mountains but closer than you expected. Where every snow fall felt like your first. And everyday is a snow day. A place far away from the sea but snorkels are still recommended. When your life's going downhill is a good thing. And if you want to take it to the next level, you can always fly on the backs of eagles. Ride your way to finding awesome. #findingawesome.”
