Season Info

Whitewater's season typically runs from early December through early April, characterized by consistent snowfall and optimal conditions. The resort's unique location in the Selkirks creates a microclimate that captures storms, regularly blanketing the slopes with fresh powder. Mid-winter brings the deepest snow depths, while spring offers longer daylight hours and occasional sunny periods perfect for exploring the mountain's varied aspects.
