The resorts along the so-called Powder Highway serve up plenty of the fluffy white stuff during any winter road trip. To understand how it all came to be is a different type of journey altogether.

It's a stop on the powder highway for a reason: five snowy high-alpine bowls, glades, steeps, and more.
Parking, Glades, and Direct Air Service all included for on-mountain improvements
Fresh snowfall on Oct. 7, 2008, marked the beginning of Fernie's winter season as the resort gears up for skiers.
