Lonely Planet's Best Powder in the World

Those of us that live here in the Kootenays will find it as no surprise that Whitewater Ski Resort has made Lonely Planet's list of the "Best Powder in the World". For those of you who are from afar, what are you waiting for?The Lonely Planet article had this to say about Whitewater's snow quality: "The resorts inland location in the Selkirk Mountains makes for drier snow than the coastal BC offerings." It went on to gush about the variety of terrain, "Whitewater's mixed terrain of open glades, chutes and bowls makes it easy to find freshies even a week after a storm." And, of course as we already knew, The Lonely Planet agreed that "it does get an amazing amount of the white stuff, more than 40ft a year."
