If you’ve never been to the Kootenay Cold Smoke Festival, you’re missing out. Calling powderhounds of every kind, Cold Smoke is a four-day celebration of skiing with a strong focus on the backcountry. From the backcountry gear demos to the rando-race, four days of skills clinics, inbounds events, bountiful Whitewater backcountry (reason enough!), and apres-ski parties, Cold Smoke brings a little something of everything. The good folks behind Cold Smoke just sent over their video wrap-up from 2009’s event, and the dates are set for next year. So if you still haven’t made it out to the Kootenays, marks your calendar for next year’s festival on March 5-7, 2010.
