Snow Spotlight: Scoring Canadian Powder Along The Powder Highway

Whitewater Ski Resort, B.C.

SS: Tell us a little more about these snowy shots?

Julie: In B.C., skiing is not just a sport, but a way of life.

Having spent a few winters in Whitewater Ski Resort before, it is our ultimate goal in life to become a silverbird at the resort, as you get a free season pass if you are 75+!

Fernie Alpine Resort, B.C.

Julie: The Fernie Alpine Resort has actually adopted the “20 cm rule”, which exists in most ski towns.

According to the rule, if it has snowed more than 20 centimeters, the shops don’t open until noon.

Castle Mountain Resort, B.C.

Julie: We hit the jackpot at Castle Mountain Resort as temperatures of –20 Celsius overnight created the driest, most lovely, legendary cold smoke.

The snow is so light that our spray remains visible like a cloud of smoke in the air.

Keefer Lake Lodge, B.C.

Julie: A brand new cat ski lodge, Keefer Lake Lodge is nestled in the complete wilderness in the Monashee range and is only accessible with a 4WD.

The ultimate bonus is the custom build cat, including 14 leather seats, a flat screen, booming sound system and even glove warmers. With an average snowfall of 14 meters per year and 118 different runs – you’ll be skiing fresh lines every descent!

Julie: Each run here is more spectacular than the last; I’m completely high on life and can’t get enough of this heavenly playground!

Julie: The snow is some of the deepest I have ever skied and each turn I get an over the shoulder faceshot of blower pow.

Because of the cold temperatures during the last few days and the continuous huge flakes that keep coming down, our timing could not have been any better!

Julie: Everywhere we look, we see endless, untouched powder fields and breath-taking mountains as we drop into our 700 metre vertical runs.

With the winter season fast approaching, this plethora of powder shots from Canada is the perfect fix for any ski junkie waiting for the lifts to open.
