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.
