Once we had looped back to our starting point we were all very hungry, so off to the lodge we went. The Whitewater Ski Resort offers a pub, cafe, and coffee bar. We found a perfect table in the pub and watched the skiers and snowboarders swooshing down the runs. Lines of little ones just learning and others of all ages and abilities were enjoying the glorious day. The original chef at Whitewater has written three cookbooks which I use regularly. Our burgers were all exceptional and the fellas enjoyed local Nelson Brewing Company beers. The food from the Resort is so popular, they now have a food truck, The Fresh Tracks Cafe Express, which is parked at the base of one of the runs in the winter and in downtown Nelson in the summer months.

Our burgers were all super fresh and tasty. My sis and I both had the veggie burger with sides of delicious mushroom miso gravy. The fellas each had a different beef burger. See the menu here.

Beer, hot chocolate, twinkling lights, mountain views and lots of happy, happy people!
