My husband and I have been to Nelson many times and every time we hate leaving. The snowboarding is great and the town is friendly. There is lots of yummy food our favorite is at Jackson's Hole & Grill and the best coffee at Oso Negro. Ainsworth Hotsprings is worth the hour trip north too.

Food at the fresh tracks cafe is exceptional. Luckily there was an Aussie barista so coffee was good too!

We were so excited to be visiting Whitewater as we had one opportunity to ski whilst on a trip from Australia to visit family in the Kaslo area of BC.

Great place to slay the pow and shred the gnar. One of my fav places is Whitewater. Can't beat the Koots powder

Whitewater is definitely our favourite 'old-time' ski resort that delivers fabulous skiing, often on champagne-dry powder. It definitely lives up to Powder Magazine's claim: "One of the best powder mountains on the continent." Yes, two of the chairs are of the slow non-detachable two-seater variety while the newest, Glory Ridge, seats three, but the slow ascent just whets your appetite... More

I am not a skier or boarder, but I can see why people love Whitewater! My daughter took me here to show me around and we enjoyed a great lunch outside in the sunshine admiring the beautiful mountains. She is an avid snowboarder and very good at it too!
