What Skiers Want
0
Powder. Light, dry, hissing powder. To be flown atop great swaths of it. And when the skies are too milky to fly? We still want powder. Which is why Selkirk Tangiers Heli should be on your life list. On down days, STHS comps tickets to Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Choose your days, choose your group, choose your lodging. (If your father-in-law’s buying, book Bighorn Lodge.)

Dream Towns: Fernie, BC
0
Sure, you could hack it in any ski town for a winter, but if you’re thinking about sticking it out you’re going to want more than just access to lifts. It takes a fine balance to make a perfect ski town: equal parts culture and deep snow. Fernie, BC, is one of the places we think we could settle down for a while

0
