WHY SKI THE POWDER HIGHWAY THIS WINTER

  • Serious powderhounds eagerly make the trek to this resort for not only snow but enjoying the biggest vertical in the Canadian Rockies. Up to 11 metres (37 feet) of snow blankets the resort each year, ranking it the amongst the snowiest ski and snowboard destinations in Canada.
  •  Polar Peak has always symbolized awe-inspiring heights, towering 7,000 ft above sea level with a hair-raising vertical descent of 3,550 feet. A permanent snowcat is perched at the Peak, ready to pounce into action at the first sight of fresh powder. There are 6 triple black diamonds and 16 double black diamonds. This is not for the faint-hearted.  READ MORE
