This past week has offered excellent wind-packed snow conditions and an empty mountain. This weekend our local hill will transform into a mega destination with all the hustle and bustle of any urban centre. For me it’s time to get out my snowshoes, x-country and touring skis.

For those looking for fresh tracks and a bit of solitude I recommend the local snow cat operations:
- Island Lake and Powder Cowboy – 423-3700
- Fernie Wilderness – 423-6704
