There are 3 sides to the Whitewater ski area. Silver King and Summit sides surround you when you arrive at the lodge. It is a spectacular view here, especially for a skier or boarder carrying avalanche gear. Both of these sides are serviced by double chairs. The Summit side has steeper terrain and more vertical, while a beginner area and park on the Silver King side.
Off the back side of the Summit is Glory Ridge. This area is serviced by a triple chair that drops to the lowest point in the ski area. The terrain here is similar to that of the Summit. It's steep and has plenty of vertical.
During the winter season you're as much or more likely to find powder at Whitewater than any other ski area in BC.

The resort itself is located in the Kananaskis Region of Alberta, which is about 25 km east of the B.C./Alberta border and in the most easterly part of the Rocky Mountains. This location at the edge of the Rockies provides Fortress with quite a bit ... [ Read More ]
