Ymir {waɪmər} is a small town in the West Kootenay district of British Columbia.
It's located between Nelson and Salmo [10Kms down the road, where the annual music festival Shambhala takes place] on Highway 6 and is close to the Whitewater Ski Hill/Resort.
The Salmo River runs through the center of the town.
Ymir was originally known as Quartz Creek.
The townsite was laid out in 1897 by railway magnate D.C. Corbin.
Today Ymir consists of a store and two hotels, plus an assortment of residential properties.
Here's a selection of photos taken in & around ... the whacky Ymir Hotel is now owned by a late 80s German guy with mildly eccentric attitudes e.g. lights out at 9pm ... if you ain't in by then - tough :)
The Hotel is crammed to the gunnels with artwork of all sorts ... as the photos will help to show ...
