have deposited an astonishing amount of snow still picture perfect in spring and ready-to-ski through June
– just ask the “Heavy Metal Motorcycle Mommas” who will race during the Mom’s Mountain Classic on April
11. Also yet to come is the biggest party of the winter season: the legendary TELUS World Ski and Snowboard
Festival brings ten days of winter sport, fashion, film, photography and Canada’s largest free outdoor
concert series.
