Nelson, Kootenay Rockies Region
Ahhh Home
Yup, born and raised a Nelsonite. Not exactly the easiest place to find a job, and if you are young you might be a little bored there ( I know I was for quite some time ) but Nelson remains one of my favorite places on earth. The skiiing/snowboarding at Whitewater is unbeatable, plus backcountrying galore. Hiking, mountain biking, anything to do with the lake, and almost every other outdoor sport is also covered. If you like camping anywhere in the area is fantastic.
I guess it’s not for everybody but I think it has at least something for everyone, and lots more for those who are culturally inclined!
