Canada snow forecast
27 resorts · ranked by live 10-day powder score · leading right now: Last Frontier Heliskiing (56)
Interior British Columbia is the powder heart of Canada — Revelstoke, Whitewater, Fernie and the Kootenay hills sit under a storm track that delivers dry, consistent snow all winter, and the province is also the world capital of cat- and heli-skiing. Alberta's Rockies run colder and lighter with Castle Mountain as the snow magnet, while the coast (Whistler, Mount Washington) trades dryness for sheer volume.
