Powder Springs, Canada
Introduction
A small town hill that caters more for the beginner to intermediate level. If money is no object then heli-boarding and cat-boarding is available and offers some of the best powder in BC. Quiet area that is ideal for a break away from the crowds and to take on some snowmobiling and other activities other than snowboarding.
A cheap way of Cat-boarding here is to get on the short list (Cancellation list) but must be available when they phone you or you will miss your chance. This is the best value for the Cat-boarding as you pay circa $150 for total fresh lines and will have a sick day with a guaranteed 5 runs.
