Nelson, British Columbia is a world-renowned ski destination, with Whitewater Ski Resort a 15 minute drive away, and RED Mountain Resort in Rossland about an hour. In 2012, Whitewater in Nelson and RED in Rossland (a small city southwest of Nelson) were jointly voted the best ski locales in North America by the readers of California-based Powder magazine.
Baldface is local as well, if you are more into snowcat boarding & skiing.
In the spring, summer, and fall, Nelson becomes a mountain biking mecca. "Showcased in many mountain bike films, Nelson trails offer everything from gentle railway grades to steep, rooty technical tracks." - Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism.
We are on the West arm of Kootenay Lake, a stunning glacier-fed lake - the largest natural lake in southern British Columbia. In the summer, our little city turns into an outdoor lake paradise. With all of the paddling, birding, sailing, caving, climbing, hiking, fishing, swimming, floating and general summer fun to enjoy, you can't go wrong visiting our region no matter the season.
