CONSISTENT DRY POWDER!! 

It begins in September when cooler moisture laden clouds stack up along the west edge of the Selkirk Mountain Range. Snow accumulates as these clouds are forced up and over the crests of the 3000 M Selkirks.  At GAH, large valleys bisecting this mountain system are conduits for two major storm tracks working together to pump in the powder. The Esplanade range has a typical settled, mid winter snow pack depth of 3 to 4 meters and a 200+ day season
