Slather on the zinc. Break out your board. It's time to wrap a season of shredding with a host of cruise-worthy (and slopeside) pursuits. Start the festivities in the southeast corner of the province during Kimberley Alpine Resort's annual Spring Splash – an opportunity to soak up rays with some late-season powder, or fantastic spring corn. The festival, held March 29 and 30, features live music in the plaza, the famous "Lewzer Launch" dummy downhill race, and a tasty outdoor barbecue. Just one week later (April 5), head to Fernie Alpine Resort for its 23 rd Powder Pedal Paddle Relay Race . Teams of one to five people ski, bike, paddle and run in a fun (yet competitive) relay. The race wraps with a celebratory dinner and party - an ideal dénouement to another epic ski season.
