Others measure in centimeters and by week - we measure in Feet and in DAYS!
Go where it is Deep, Real Snow.

British Columbia, Canada - This month goes down as one of the snowiest January’s on record.  There is unbelievable snow conditions at both Fernie & Kicking Horse with total snowfall at both over 19 feet now.  Today alone, Fernie has seen over a foot overnight!!  With the Super Bowl weekend coming up we would suggest it’s the time to get in some of the Super Deep at the ski resorts of Fernie Alpine Resort and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. A big plus for many is soft natural snow. Note from our Mountain Operations experts state that natural snow and lots of it makes the ski runs ski soft and supple, without any of that icy, hard-pack type experience that you may get at other ski resorts.

Not to mention the wide variety of ski in/ski out lodging - make it easy on yourself and enjoy one of the snowiest January’s on record at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and Fernie Alpine Resort!  You owe to yourself to try the soft Champagne Powder at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and the Rockies Deepest, Softest snow at Fernie Alpine Resort.
