Where are the best offpist skiing?

QUESTION:
I love to ski in the Woods and some of my best offpiståk was in Kicking Horse and In. Do you know of any other places in Canada which are of similar quality?

ANSWER:Kootenayregionen in British Columbia, South of the Kicking Horse and In, has the deepest, the driest snow in the world. Ski resorts that Nelson's Whitewater (skiwhitewater.com), Rossland's Red Mountain (redresort.com) and Fernie's Alpine Resort (skifernie.com) are all excellent places to susa and make tracks in powder snow. In addition, all three a relaxed picket charm. Nearby are the Okanagan Valley, Big White (bigwhite.com) and Apex (apexresort.com) which is also the perfect powder skiing and plenty of snow. Big White is located a little more isolated, while the Apex is usually not as full of people.
Further West in BC is Whistler (whistlerblackcomb.com) is North America's largest ski resort. The resort is amazing popular thanks to its enormous lift system, while those who enjoy off-piste far from systems finds a high landscape glaciärterräng with frozen lakes, big wide open bowls and steep walls filled with powdery snow. Huts and shelters are available out there in the forests for those who want to stay overnight and leave again the next day. The area is also known for its helicopter skiing (canadianmountainholidays.com).
In the province of Alberta, not far from Kicking Horse, Lake Louise (skilouise.com), which has about 2,500 acres of peripheral walls and gorgeous forest clearings for off-piste adventure.
