Nelson (population: 9,258) is one Canada’s finest heritage cities, with over 350 Victorian-style buildings. This acclaimed, small-town arts community delights visitors with its rich history, creative energy and mild climate. Nearby Kootenay Lake is the largest inland lake in BC. Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park is renowned for its old-growth forests and glorious wildlife in the Selkirk Mountains. In winter, the area’s diverse terrain makes for great skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and snowshoeing.
Nearby Whitewater Resort offers one of B.C. best skiing and snowboarding. This little gem is a bit ‘old school’, with no high speed quads, it a blast into the past. Catch it on a day of powder and your in ski heaven!
As for staying in Nelson, no problem, a home rental is the way to go. Or a room in a fancy hotel downtown is also great. Be sure to check out the Bakery in he back alley….by far the best bread in B.C.
