Lonely Planet's \"Best powder in the world list\"
Most of these locations will come as no surprise to you but there are a few that we could think to add – how about you?
Our home hill of Whitewater Ski Resort made the list and here is what the Lonely Planet had to say:
"Whitewater may not be the biggest ski resort in Western Canada (that honour falls on Whistler Blackcomb) but it does get an amazing amount of the white stuff – more than 40ft a year. The resort only has three chairlifts and a tow bar, with a meagre 1184 acres of skiable areas. But good things do come in small packages, and Whitewater’s mixed terrain of open glades, chutes and bowls makes it easy to find freshies even a week after a storm. The resort’s inland location in the Selkirk Mountains makes for drier snow than the coastal BC offerings."
