Manning Park Resort can be found between Hope and Princeton on Highway 3. The resort and its ski area are within the boundaries of EC Manning Cascade Provincial Park. This area is cold in the winter, and consistently gets a deep snowpack.
The ski area at Manning consists of 2 double chairs and a beginner area. It's a small inbounds area, but there is a good variety of terrain. The doubles service two separate faces which both run out to the day lodge area.
The Blue chair is the shorter of the 2. There is a steep run right under the lift. The terrain park is another fun place to shred in this area.
The Orange chair services the most terrain. It rises over 400 meters to the highest point of the area. These slopes can have powder stashes for days, and the view is one of the best in BC.
Some ski areas are said to be in a snow shadow. If there is an opposite term for that, it could be used to describe Whitewater. This ski area gets significantly more snow than its regional rivals, and it has awesome terrain with which to shred it on a pow day.
