WHITEWATER SKI RESORT OPEN TODAY!
DECEMBER 10, 2021 • WHAT'S NEW
As here at the Lodge it hasnt stopped snowing in the last week and Whitewater has opened for daily operations today, it's about time to start our yearly “We ♥ Snow Report” again!

Total Snowfall 207 cm + Current Base 133 cm
With 27 cm of fresh snow this week.
Whitewater, the go-to-resort for most of our guests, is up the road from our Lodge, a short 20 min. drive from door to lift. Over 623 metres/2044 ft of steeps, deeps, chutes, bowls, and glades are all there, beneath the ski resort's majestic Ymir Peak. Together with its impressive snowpack - annual snowfall of 12 meters/40 ft -, boundless backcountry terrain and its laid-back familial atmosphere, some do not want to ski anywhere else.
Red Mountain Resort
Unfortunately, RED has postphoned its opening day as the conditions are not quite there yet. With the forecast calling for consistent snowfall and cold temperatures, RED's new tentative opening is Saturday December 18th!
Total Snowfall 105 cm + Current Depth 62 cm
With 10 cm of fresh snow in the last 3 days.
Guests who stay with us longer than a few nights like to ski at least a day at Red Mountain as well. RED is a bit further out but very accessible at an hours drive (75km), located just outside the charming town of Rossland. With more than 3,850 skiable acres, 119 runs, 890 meters/2919 ft of vertical terrain serviced by 8 total lifts, and an annual snowfall peaks out on average at 7+ meters/25 ft, all in all reason to enjoy a day at this impressive resort as well.
