🏔️ Best time to go

Prime months: Jan · Feb · Mar · Apr · Dec.

Early-season cold locks in light, dry Rocky Mountain powder at Canada's highest-base-elevation resort; snowpack builds fast from mid-November opener.

Peak snowpack (~113 cm avg) meets February's 12 sunniest days of the season — prime combo of fresh powder and bluebird visibility on expert terrain.

Deepest base of the year (~130 cm avg) with a long spring season running into early May; best for high-mileage days on fully open terrain.
