Kootenay Coldsmoke Powderfest is an annual celebration of ski and snowboard culture. This grassroots flagship festival features clinics, competitions, and ski-themed arts and culture programming both in Nelson and at Whitewater.

Coldsmoke brings together a community with a shared passion for winter sport. Through a curated collection of competitions, backcountry education, arts and culture, storytelling, and clinics, we aim to connect, educate, and inspire.

It’s a chance to expand your skills, bridge connections, and immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscape that surrounds us. The spirit of Coldsmoke stays with you long after the weekend ends.

Join us at Coldsmoke, where the slopes are our canvas, and the spirit of skiing and snowboarding takes center stage.
