Halfway between Nelson and Castlegar, the hamlet of Salmo blends rural acreage with mountain-style living. Golf courses, ranches, and fishing lakes are all within striking distance. A real gem for the community, the Salmo Ski Hill operates in the winter months, providing residents and visitors with night skiing, an increasingly rare experience, and one not to be missed. Typical of the West Kootenays, there is a rich mining history and forest resources continue to be an economic mainstay.
