The Whitewater ski resort is located in the Kootenay Rockies below Ymir Mountain near Nelson in British Columbia. From Nelson, take Highway 6 over the 958 m high Apex Summit to the turnoff for the ski resort. From there, a mountain road leads up to the Whitewater ski resort. The first 3 km of the mountain road are still paved, and then it continues as a gravel road up to the chairlifts. After about 5 km, you reach the Glory Ridge triple chairlift with limited parking available. After another 4 km, you arrive at the base station of the other chairlifts, where there is ample parking. The road is very well cleared and maintained in winter.
Access via Nelson Nelway Highway 6, exit Whitewater Ski Hill Road
