Couldn't agree more! It's a tree-skier's paradise. I spent 2 days there last season and wish I could have spent more. I just spun continuous laps through the trees off glory ridge lift, all day, and never took an identical run. The vertical is perfect too! It alternates between gnarly steep that gets the blood pumping, then leading to a mild rise to bleed off crazy speed, then off you go again. It's the most perfect, epic tree-skiing destination I have ever been to. I will definitely return!
@riseandalpine11 ай бұрын
Adam! It sounds like we had an identical experience LOL. You are so right, it's the perfect amount of vertical. Keeps you at the ideal pace all day long.

Think ya nailed it bud! It's pretty sick here, Raven chair has also opened some equally sick terrain, and the touring access to white/black queen, 5 mile, and scobs is just ridiculously easy now with the new lift

After watching that I'm intrigued. My intermediate brother and I (more advanced) usually do an annual ski trip to Revelstoke, me skiing Greely Bowl or the Ripper chair trees while he skis the groomers, but these trees at Whitewater look awesome... Revy looks way bigger but with only a few lifts so you're doing long traverses all the time, while it looks like Whitewater may be smaller but you get access to tons of tree skiing from just a pair of lifts.
@riseandalpine11 ай бұрын
It would totally be worth trying this season, especially if you enjoy the ripper/greely trees. The only big difference is that the chairs at Whitewater are not high-speed, they are all fixed chairs. You'll get less laps in especially if you love bombing groomers. But, if you're skiing off-piste and trees hard, the extra time to catch your breath is a blessing. I was exhausted after a day lapping Whitewater.
@madcow58335 ай бұрын
Revy is much bigger and great if you are into cat tracks. If you prefer trees go to whitewater :)
@davebergmuller62719 ай бұрын
I was there a few years ago during a pow day. Holy crap. 5ft high moguls disappeared. Green runs were empty because the pitch of the slope wasn't enough to get any speed lol. Glory ridge was amazing. I did get a little motion sickness from the old chair lol. Looking forward to another trip there.

good vibes at Whitewater Resort. We got lucky last season with a snow dump that we had to extend our stay. Totally agree that the trees are spaced out far enough to get amazing lines in the deep. I like these resort reviews as the snow is just starting to trickle down in the mountains.

Our ski trips out West usually consist of 2 days at Fernie, 2 days at Whitewater and 3 days at Red. Or some variation of these. It all depends where the snow fell last. Best ski trips ever.
