For the past 25 years, local alpine enthusiasts have gathered together at Whitewater to enjoy the deep snow (the reported average snowfall is 45 feet) and build great memories. The mountain consists of groomed runs, open bowls, glades, chutes, and tree skiing all accessible from two chairlifts. Terrain expansion will provide an additional 85 acres of advanced tree skiing. Improvements for 2004-05 include a major upgrade to the Whitwater access road. The resort is 120 miles north of Spokane, Washington.
