Thinking of spending the next season in White Water but i wonder about something.

Does White Water get tracked out fast?

How is the backcountry in White Water?

Best,

John

well whitewater is not the biggest hill so the main steep pow runs get tracked pretty fast but you just sorta have to know where to go. They have plenty of backcountry, some easy to access some takes some effort. the backcountry will take a longgg time to get tracked because there is so much and even when you dont get first tracks its still great. there is also a vast difference in backcountry, we have pillows , mellow open faces, bowls ,tree skiing and big mountain faces. its defanitly a great hill if you like steep and deep because we get alot of snow and great terrain. i would highly reccomend it.


this is all accessable and there is plenty more.

Looks awesome!

About the backcountry: When you hit the backcountry do you get back to the ski hill or is it like a car ride back?

That is perfect.

Is there any shuttle bus between nelson and white water? If so what is the cost?

Somebody old me if I buy a season pass at red resort then that season pass would also work in white water, is that true? If so, does it work the other way around to?

Ok, then i´ll just go in December, do you get much snow usually that month?

Is it hard to find a place to stay/people to stay with in december? Or should I just book a room un the hostel.

That was a ridiculous week. I swear I skied more powder/some fresh snow days than non-powder days this year. We'll often get lots of snow in December and also it doesn't get busy until after Christmas. Late December/early January is the ideal time. Or mid feb.
