Winter 25/26 has honestly been kind of a bummer up here—until it isn’t. In this video I’m out at Fernie Alpine Resort in British Columbia after that classic 48-hour snow dump that flips the whole season on its head. When the base finally refreshes and the trees fill in, everything rides different: the speed control gets easier, the landings get softer, and you can actually start linking lines the way you meant to all winter. I take you along for a proper powder ride on my Stranda Super Glider and talk through what I’m feeling underfoot in fresh snow—how the board wants to plane, how I’m managing my stance and pressure, and what I’m looking for as conditions go from “meh” to “game on.” If you’ve been stuck waiting for the season to show up, this is that reminder that one big storm can reset the whole mountain. Come ride with me, and I’ll give you the Fernie vibe check while we hunt the good snow.
