Salmo the Hub of the Kootenays

Salmo Ski Hill in the west Kootenays of British Columbia is famous for its great night skiing on fully lit runs that are always groomed to perfection. Salmo offers a wide variety of skiing opportunities for all ages and levels. The hill has varied terrain including groomed runs, gently sloping runs, moguls, steep slopes, pristine powder, racing courses, half pipe, and a bunny hill. Salmo Ski Hill is a volunteer-run ski hill with very friendly staff, excellent skiing both during the day and the night, and no lift lines. It’s a really great place to bring your family and have some fun.

Deep in British Columbia's Kootenay region exists a one of a kind experience, one that is often hard to define. For those with a passion for epic winters, in a most unique and authentic setting, there is a place...Whitewater Ski Resort.

RED Mountain is a place of powerful contrasts. We’re the oldest resort in Western Canada yet we’re also the home of the most significant terrain expansion in the last decade. We’re proudly Canadian yet located only minutes over the USA border in the snowy Kootenay mountains. Guests love our unpretentious vibes and they also love the massive terrain—3,850 acres!— that puts us in the Top 10, size-wise, in North America.

Enormous snowy peaks, clear lakes, and waterfalls characterize this mountain playground in southeastern British Columbia that is home to backcountry adventures, singletrack mountain bike trails, mineral hot springs, and small towns with vibrant arts and culture scenes.
