Stowe opened with exceptional early-season snow, full-mountain access, steep terrain, knee-deep powder, and festive, dedicated crowds on Day 1.
Departing from Calgary, I was optimistic about my first ski day of the year at SkiBig3's Lake Louise. Even though there was no snow in the city, the mountains in the distance were snow-covered, with 15 inches reported to have fallen the week prior. With a sunny day in the forecast and the full 3,250-foot vertical drop available for the first time this season, I was excited to get in my first turns of the season.
