Shames Mountain gets some of the world's biggest snowfalls. We dare to say, it probably gets more snow than any other lift serviced operation on earth. It's been known to snow so much here that people get stranded overnight in the day lodge because the parking lot transforms into a mogul field. Looking to make a snow-seeking adventure you won't forget? Head to northern British Columbia and head to places such as Terrace, Smithers, and Prince George.
