President’s Message

The snow pack is over 2.5 meters and growing. Did you know that the average snow fall at our lodge each year is over 40 feet. Yeah we have the Kootenaly powder going on and this year is starting out great!

We completed our staff weekend and the reviews are in that our new French Chef Stephanie Verot is going to keep all of our clients happy and full. Supposedly she has already received three marriage proposals so far after a satisfied guest has tasted her food so we will have to keep track how many more proposals she will receive before the end of the season.;)

I can also personally say that a massage from our are sport specific trained massage therapist will work wonders and decrease your recovery time so you will be ready to tear it up on the slopes the next day. So plan on having a massage each day on your holiday to keep those legs fresh.

Just a friendly reminder the sky is the limit and no request goes unattended at Snowwater.

There is no more exhilarating holiday on the planet!

Live Large!

President
