"Taking the top spot on this list is the renowned Powder Highway, which runs through four distinct mountain ranges: the Selkirk Mountains, the Canadian Rockies, the Purcell Mountains, and the Monashee Mountains. This route doesn't just orbit a hub of small mountains; you're moving across distinct ranges and regions set in Interior British Columbia and the Kootenays. These mountains are no joke-those with younger ones may want to stick to more family-friendly resorts such as Whistler Blackcomb or Big White."
"All mountain resorts give you more advanced terrain than you'll know what to do with, big drops, plentiful dry powder, and way less crowds than you'd expect. Visitors may find accessing this route a bit more difficult with Calgary (YYC) being the only major airport nearby and smaller ones located in Kamloops (YKA) and Kelowna (YLW), but the riding experience will be more than worth it-you'll just have to take my word for it..."
"This monstrous route will take you up to 12 hours, and visitors could easily spend 1-2 weeks trying to cover all this terrain. Revelstoke, Panorama, and RED Mountain are all on IKON Pass, while Kicking Horse and Fernie are Partner Resorts for Epic Pass holders. Whitewater Mountain isn't on either of the aforementioned passes. The best times to visit are January and February."
Powder Highway spans four major mountain ranges in Interior British Columbia and the Kootenays, offering advanced terrain, big drops, plentiful dry powder, and relatively light crowds. Access is primarily via Calgary with smaller airports in Kamloops and Kelowna; travel across the route can take up to 12 hours and exploring all resorts can require one to two weeks. Several resorts participate on IKON and Epic partner passes while some, like Whitewater, do not. Hokkaido delivers JaPOW's famously dry snow and heavy dumps with a short total driving time of about 2.5 hours and generally lower prices.
