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.
