Salmo Ski
Hill in the west Kootenays of British Columbia is famous for
its great night skiing on fully lit runs that are always groomed
to perfection. Salmo Ski Hill offers a wide variety of skiing
opportunities for all ages and levels. The hill has varied terrain
including groomed runs, gently sloping runs, moguls, steep slopes,
pristine powder, racing courses, a half pipe for snowboarders,
a bunny hill, and cross-country ski trails.
Salmo Ski Hill is a volunteer-run ski hill with very friendly
staff, excellent skiing both during the day and the night,
and no lift lines. It's a really great place to bring your
family and have some fun.
Salmo Ski Hill is located in the Kootenays, 1.5 miles (2
km) south of Salmo, 28 miles (45 km) southeast of Castlegar,
and 31 miles (50 km) south of Nelson.
