Up at Fernie Alpine Resort, I finished a
day of great tree-skiing and then headed into the village for some apres ski
at the Griz Bar. There I ran into a local who tells me about the
Griz Legend that explains why Fernie gets its special brand of powder
snow! I should also mention that the apres is so good up there I ended up passing out in a slopeside igloo at the end of the night!

I checked out some of the recently gladed tree-skiing at Fernie Alpine Resort which is tucked in the Canadian Rocky Mountains! This place has awesome terrain and a cool village! There are ridges and powder filled bowls or you can cruise with your family down the gentle groomed slopes. Anyway you look at it this place has a bit of something for everyone.

Revelstoke Mountain Resort was the first stop on my epic journey. With a heavy snowfall to greet me, this was nothing short of a powder dream! Even though the airline had lost my luggage, that was quickly forgotten once I was carted up in the 4500 ft gondola to a powder paradise.

I spent a morning with Whitewater Ski Patrol during an inbounds avalanche
control. These guys know their stuff and that lets Whitewater Winter Resort share all of its Kootenay powder with us. After bombing, a whole side of the mountain was opened for the
public to safely ski fresh powder! And you'll see the perks for the ski patrol... the first face shots of the day!

I went from skiing fresh tracks to apres at Fresh Tracks in Whitewater Winter Resort! What a day.... I enjoyed the powder, people, food and drink at this awesome resort. At the end of the day, I hung out with locals and other visitors at the Fresh Tracks Cafe... I love the apres!
Fresh Tracks Cafe's healthy gourmet meals earned it the title of “Best Cafeteria Food” from Ski Canada magazine (2008). Plus the local brewery makes a nice West Kootenay traditionally styled
ale to top it off!

I
checked out the 2009 Canadian Open Freeskiing Championships at Red Mountain Resort in Rossland. Some of the best freeskiers from around the world ripped down the face of one of freeskiing's most challenging venues...Mt. Roberts!
These guys and gals went huge, dropping cliffs and entertaining us spectators. The athletes were judged on line choice, fluidity, technique, aggression and control. Make sure you visit Red Mountain Resort next year when this event is going on and watch these guys rip!

After a long day on the slopes at the Big White Ski Resort I wanted to find a recommendation for a good place to relax and enjoy the Apres Ski scene. Some locals suggested Snowshoe Sams and they were right. The food and drink were great and the place filled up quickly. Definitely the place to be for Apres Ski!
