As the summer months meander on by, seemingly without end, one might be inclined to speculate as to what the winter will bring. Here in Fernie, British Columbia, winter is guaranteed to bring sweet, fluffy, and dry powder, as it does every year. Obviously there are plenty of resorts you can go to to have your fun, but if you really want the best, the only option is to go backcountry. Given that hiking into the backcountry is a pain, and doesn't really give you much variety, your only choices for getting to the good parts is to go by helicopter or snow cat.
