Whitewater Resort - The Venue
With an Average Snowfall 1200 cm or 40 feet, need we say more?! Whitewater Winter Resort is one of the most renowned free ride/backcountry destinations in Western Canada. Both the inbounds and backcountry terrain of this area provides a fantastic natural terrain park with its beautiful runs, natural launches, cornices, faces, gullies and gentle glades.
Ski Canada has rated Whitewater as having the Best Deeps, Best Bowls and Best Glades. The climate consistently provides tons of dry snow, year after year. These factors in combination with Whitewater's hailed beauty and scenery make it a premier rider's destination.
