The snow gods were smiling on the Kootenay Coldsmoke Festival at Whitewater Ski Resort this weekend. The mountain was coated with more than 40 cm of fresh powder for the three-days of clinics, competition and general downhill enjoyment. Saturday's fun continued long after the last chair, with dinner and entertainment — and tons of giveaways — in the lodge.
