Death by powder
Article Abstract:
Powder King ski resort in the outback of British Columbia does not offer the refinements and amenities of more well-heeled ski destinations. What it does provide is an unparalleled skiing experience, with 500 hundred inches of snowfall per year and more than 2,000 feet of vertical runs. A visit to Powder King is chronicled, and the merits that make it a worthier resort than many more expensive resorts are catalogued.
