The Festival

About the Kootenay Coldsmoke Power Festival.

The Kootenay Coldsmoke Powder Fest is a grassroots gathering where both experienced and debutant backcountry skiers and snowboarders can celebrate the culture of backcountry pursuits amongst breathtaking scenery and world-renowned snow. Nelson, British Columbia, the powder mecca of the Kootenays, is a natural choice, and so the 2nd annual Kootenay Coldsmoke Powder Fest is slated to be held from February 22-25 2008. In addition to seasoned veterans, this event will also draw “keen to be” backcountry skiers and snowboarders who want to give off-piste adventures a try. Whitewater Winter Resort’s terrain, combined with the Selkirk’s legendary snow, provides fantastic opportunities for all levels to ski, learn, compete, and celebrate off-piste and backcountry riding. The festival revolves around 4 full days of clinics, films, and competitions for all ski/snowboard pursuits, as well as a photography competition.
